    Only problem is streaming services like Amazon that purposefully limit the quality on Linux.

      That is why I’m not subscribed to any of them. If they don’t want to offer me the same bare minimum, it’s on them. I mean why are they even doing that? To protect against piracy? Yeah, that seems to be doing absolutely nothing then.

      Get a browser spoofing add-on! I have google fiber, and I’ve found that my internet is faster if it thinks I’m using chrome 🤷‍♂️

        That doesn’t make sense, a “browser spoofing” addon most certainly doesn’t do anything that would be detectable by an ISP listening in on your encrypted connections.

      And it also depends on your version of Linux as sometimes they don’t play well with the copy protection software.

      I had a lot of issues getting some videos on Tubi to play just because I was playing it on a Linux.

      I was using mint cinnamon.
