Netflix now supports HTML5 in Safari...

Unlikely, the DRM decryption is not present in either TenFourFox or WebKit for Leopard. Adding them would be rather difficult and PowerPC machines may not have enough power to decode and playback the media properly or at all.

I'm on Mavericks and can't watch Netflix without Silverlight. Do you have a link to an official confirmation of this?

Twimfy said:

Nope other than in the playback settings you can choose HTML 5 as a preference.

I deleted the Silverlight plugin (as it's constantly saying it's not installed in 10.9.2 even though it is) and Netflix is playing just fine without it.

I only stumbled across the option as it was mentioned in a reddit comment by someone.

Strange. Netflix's own HTML5 documentation states that IE 11 on Windows 8 or later is required and it definitely doesn't play anything for me in Safari, also with 10.9.2.
What title were you watching, if you don't mind saying?

Fringe season 2

Doesn't work for me. Are you sure you don't have a copy of Silverlight still installed?

Does LoveFilm work at all?

It might depend on what you're watching.

I recently restored my MBP. I'm almost certain I've watched something on Netflix since then. Either way, I was trying to watch the last episode of House of Cards before the next season starts and I was forced to install Silverlight.

resurection I know

if you use systems preferences /security and privacy /firewall / and block silverlight it will force html5

yea I think I was wrong. I uninstalled silverlight and it wouldn't use the html5 player so I went searching and found someone said install silverlight but block it in firewall. Thing is looking at power usage information from top menu/battery its showing silverlight even when blocked and I can't get firewall to block the internet plugin in library, so sorry may have led people on a merry goose chase

come on apple rid us of microsfot silverlight .... please
