Fetches Chrome and extracts out Widevine so that it can be used by Vivaldi. Also works with other Chromium-based browsers.

Watching Netflix videos on Linux platform needs some tweaks. One of them is this script (click link above).

This tweak is for advanced users familiar with scripts and terminal.

And if outside of US, you may need a VPN, or a proxy, and connect to a US server. Netflix is the kind of service with geo-restrictions, and content may differ depending on the country you are in.

labbe5, this isn't really much of a how to. As you say, it is for advanced users familiar with scripting and the command line. It's no help at all for the average Puppy user. :(
