Starting with Chrome 38, DRM can be managed by HTML5. Firefox and other browsers have not implemented this yet because the code for this is closed source. I believe you still need to use a plugin such as user agent switcher, as Netflix will not play natively on linux machines.

I noticed the announcement today that Ubuntu now supports Netflix streaming, due to new features recently added to the Chrome browser.

Does this work on Arch's version of Chrome as well? Are additional package installations required?

It should work out-of-the-box in Chrome, but Chromium doesn't come with the PPAPI plugin for EME. I don't know how feasible it is to get that plugin working in Chromium. For the Pepper Flash plugin, it's as simple as dropping the shared object into the directory and adding 2 cli flags.

I just updated to the latest google-chrome in the AUR (38.0.2125.101-1) and it just works. Prior version (36 something) did not work.
