Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Netflix seems to work natively with the new Google Chrome 38. I have collected the steps I took to make this work and I like to share this with all of you:
Add new User-Agent in User-Agent-plugin with following settings:
New User-Agent Name = Netflix New User-Agent String = Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win 64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/38.0.2125.24 Safari/537.36 #Use your google-chrome version. My version is 38.0.2125.24. Group = Chrome Append = Replace Indicator Flag = NX (or whatever you want) Add a new Permanent Spoof List Domain = netflix.com User-Agent String = Netflix
Upgrade mozilla-nss to at least 3.16.4.
In Playback-settings chose HTML5 (In your Netflix-account).
If that is really needed, then this solution is broken from the start. Mono is dead as a door-nail. I thought the new Chrome had native support for Netflix in HTML5.
Still getting "Error Code: M7063-1913" loading a video. I'm told that this could be because I've also got pipelight installed. I tried disabling the plugin, same error. Seems a bit extreme to have to uninstall something. Anyone got a workaround?
Although I don't know why it would conflict. Isn't chrome not using NPAPI anymore? That is, chrome shouldn't be seeing a NPAPI plugin?

Chrome does not support NPAPI any longer, correct.
Your error "M7063-1913" may be related to outdated nss3 libraries, no idea what Slackware version you are running but I would think that on Slackware 14.1 with the updated mozilla-nss in /patches/packages or in Slackware-current that should not be an issue.
I have not tried the Chrome 37 but I am building chromium-37.0.2062.94 at the moment so anyone with a Netflix account can test that tomorrow or on friday.
Slackware 14, but I've patched, run ldconfig, and rebooted for good measure. Mozilla-nss is at least 3.16. Oh wait, it's probably not 3.16.2? Can try building something more current tomorrow.
I grabbed the slackbuild from the slackware64-14 directory for mozilla-nss, and the mozilla-nss 3.16.2 source. Built the new package, installed it, and Netflix works fine. Granted, I'm using chrome 38.0.2125.24.

Thanks, garpu! Using your instructions, I upgraded mozilla-nss to 3.16.4, and combined with the instructions of the OP, I am now enjoying Netflix from the comfort of my browser.
Good. I am still working on that chromium version, I needed to create a patch to prevent this version from segfaulting everytime you visit https://google.com or https://youtube.com :-(
What I also intend to start somewhere next week, is a regular build of a "chromium-dev" package, using the latest development sources. The build script is ready but my build box first needs to do the chromium and new libreoffice packages.
