However the article is almost three years old. It doesn’t work.
I have just tried to download and install Chrome from google.com. However after the download
it flashes red, Unsupported. So what is a blok to do?
I have tried netflix with the Konqueror browser but I get the same problem with firefox. Not supported. The article above gives the work around. Now I need a work around for the work around to download and install Chrome.

What version of openSUSE?
I’m using Chrome on openSUSE 13.2 (just downloaded from google.com), and
it works fine here. I use it to watch Netflix, in fact.

Chrome (or Chromium) is unnecessary. I’ve just signed up for a free
month of Netflix and started viewing a film via Firefox. The only other
thing that’s needed is Pipelight. http://pipelight.net/cms/install/ins…-opensuse.html

I installed the Pipelight however, still can’t watch movies on netflix yet.
They seem not to say how to get it to work. I will reboot then try netflix again.

Rebooting shouldn’t be necessary. On the machine and partition I’d tried
it on, I hadn’t installed Pipelight so I got the message on the Netflix
screen to install Silverlight. I then installed it using the five
commands that are required.
Once that was complete, Wine started up. I then found that the Netflix
screen had changed to contain a message to start Silverlight. I clicked
on that and everything started working.
I’m wondering, did you issue the command to enable Silverlight?

you shouldn’t need pipelight anymore, I don’t have it and NetFlix is working fine for me in Chrome-beta. Can’t remember what I did but I believe you may just need mozilla-nss > 3.16. and a current version of Chrome
I don’t have a user switcher agent as mentioned below (though pretty sure I did at one time) and in playback settings I’m not seeing an HTML5 preference option
To 2nd the above thought, you can now watch Netflix in OpenSuse (or any Linux) with Chrome. Since Chrome 37, Netflix works natively without any plugins (like pipelight).
Have you tried installing Chrome directly from google? It’s really straightforward and should work right out of the box…
Next, you run the three commands listed below “Afterwards install the
necessary packages (run as root user):”
Finally, click on the link “enable the plugins” below those, taking you
back to section 2 of the opening link and the fifth command, “sudo
pipelight-plugin --enable pluginname”, where, in this case,
“pluginname” is “silverlight”
Hope that clarifies things a bit.

I finally got Chrome install and it plays Netflix out of the box as discribed.
I was expecting once the download complete for it to auto install. Instead I received an error message stating that backend not supported. I had to go to the download folder of firefox and run the installer from there. It installed everything needed and now I can watch Sparticus!!!
