Microsoft Silverlight is a web application framework with a scope similar to Adobe Flash. Version 2, released in October 2008, brought additional interactivity features and support for .NET languages and development tools.

Silverlight -- as of Silverlight 3:
Another new and notable feature of Silverlight 3 is support for hardware acceleration. In Silverlight 1 and 2, all rendering was done in software, which meant that the performance of complex animations and video playback depended heavily on the capabilities of the host PC. Silverlight 3, however, can take advantage of ...

The only reliable way to watch Netflix movies on Linux at the moment is to order the DVD.
Netflix requires support for Silverlight 2, however Moonlight only supports Silverlight 1 technology at the moment. The roadmap says that beta support for Silverlight 2 will be debuted in September.

The installation of Silverlight itself requires admin privileges, so even if there was an .xpi installer it wouldn't really help.
Note that you must have sufficient administrative privileges to install Silverlight.

Yes, Silverlight works perfectly fine in Chrome, at least on Windows. No need for any Dev Version or hackery, it works fine in both Chrome 3 and 4, and the released version of Silverlight 2, 3 or 4 Beta works.
Go to http://silverlight.net/, click on Install, ignore the "Your Browser is not Supported" Warning and click on the Windows Download link to ...

Are you running Internet Explorer in desktop mode or in tiled/"modern ui"/"metro" mode? Silverlight, and any other browser plugins, are disabled in Internet Explorer's tiled mode.
Internet Explorer provides an add-on–free experience, so browser
plugins don't load and any dependent content isn't displayed. However,
Internet Explorer for the desktop ...

Set up a virtual machine on your computer like Virtual Box
Set your the virtual machine to full screen
Run your YouTube or netflix videos in the virtual machine
Work on your other computer.

Flash doesn't work in 64-bit either. I think we have to resign ourselves to a 32-bit browser world for quite a while...
So why haven't Mozilla and Google bothered to release official 64-bit browsers? For the same reason Microsoft hasn't bothered to produce a 64-bit version of its Silverlight plugin: nobody uses 64-bit browsers.
That might sound like ...

From the Silverlight.net Getting Started page:
Both runtimes support rich media capabilities and enable fast, cost-effective delivery of high-quality audio and video to all major browsers including Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer running on the Mac or on Windows. The designer experience remains largely the same for both runtimes as well. The main ...

If Silverlight is not installed on your computer, some websites detect this and offer you streaming video in another format, such as Flash or Quicktime. But this of course entirely depends on these websites willing to make the effort.
The only other solution is to use an alternative player software. However, I don't see the difference between installing ...

Silverlight does not touch your files by itself, but it allows trusted (digitally signed and approved) applications to access the file system. The confirmation is shown because it is not possible for Chrome to know when and why the filesystem access will be needed, so it needs you to approve this at installation time.
Another possible reason is caching of ...

The problem with Chrome extensions is that the permission messages often tend to scare people because of what they do. By themselves, Chrome extensions are quite limited, and if a Chrome extension has to check and run on each page(for instance, a Moonlight plugin) it has to inject itself into everypage via a content script.
Unless the extension developer ...

There are no checks for Chrome specifically – this script rejects Safari on Windows, and Chrome has the string "Safari" in its user-agent.
Since the site only checks navigator.userAgent through JavaScript and not the HTTP header, you can use this extension to spoof the UA.

Actually, you succeeded -- the dzc_output.xml file is the DZI file!
We mention on our file formats page that "[the] DZI file may have either a .xml or .dzi extension, as the .xml extension is more compatible with web server requirements." So by default, Deep Zoom Composer gives the DZI file the ".xml" extension.
Sorry that this wasn't more clear -- we've ...

It's basically Microsoft's version of flash. It is a web application framework initially made for video streaming, but now has many more features and .NET language support. The majority of videos on Microsoft's website are using it, and other sites are popping up using it as well. If you use MSDN or are interested in any of the programming video tutorials on ...

There is not really any cons of installing it.
Where as Flash is basically a way for people to make rich web experiences and now is porting to desktop (AIR), Silverlight is sort of Microsoft's way of making their Desktop WCF go to the web in a cut down version.
It has some cool features such as smooth streaming, and with every release it gets better and ...

If you're familiar with .NET/IL Sourcecode:
Locate the Silverlight .xap file and save it to your computer.
Change the extension from .xap to .zip and open it.
You'll find one or more Dlls. Take them, starting with the one looking like it's just for that Silverlight application. (You can probably skip thirdparty ones.)
Disassemble that Dll with IL DASM or ...
