How can I watch Netflix on 32-bit Ubuntu systems?

Question

With the death of Chrome for 32-bit Ubuntu, is there a way to watch Netflix using Chromium? The old Firefox/pipelight solution works, but performance is much worse than native Netflix on Chrome.

The solution at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1371274 has not worked for me.

Updating to 64 bit hardware is not an option for me at this time.

Solution

With Firefox 49, it is once again possible to watch Netflix on 32 bit Ubuntu systems. See this question for the procedure.

@IanLantzy: I don't know about that, but read this.

a) I already use Chrome but it is no longer supported on 32-bit b) I didn't ask about Hulu or Amazon Prime c) other Linux distros have gotten Netflix to work with Chromium.
