Running Firefox 41 and it still loads the Silverlight plugin and explicitly asks for it if disabled... Also, Netflix needing Silverlight drove the development of Pipelight for Linux: http://pipelight.net/cms/about.html

It got my attention that Chrome supports HD "up to" 720p, unlike the rest that get up to 1080p. Why would that be?
