It's true. Edge is the only browser with 4K support. They claim it's due to improved HTML5 support, but who knows really. I suspect their content delivery network uses some kind of Microsoft proprietary compression or somesuch. I know old Netflix was Silverlight-based due to their DRM.
They use an Edge-exclusive DRM for 4K video on the web. You can just download the Netflix app from the Microsoft Store instead.
Yep, I'm aware. I was just answering the person above me.
Installing an app also makes it able to collect much more information than constrained in a proper web browser.
