I don’t think that’s true anymore. In Firefox you can check “play drm” and it will let you stream Netflix and others in 1080p.

In Firefox on Linux it’s a definitive “maybe”. It works on my gaming machine, not not on my home theatre PC. Same Linux install. Same configuration: Firefox with the user agent extension for Netflix, which was needed or it was stuck at 720p. HTPC is still stuck at 720p.
