Clicking either one of these opens the DMG file. When you open a DMG file, you’ll usually see two things: the app and a link to your applications folder.

Part 1: How to Watch Netflix on Macbook Air/Pro via Web Browsers
Firstly, not all web browsers have a access to watch Netflix on Mac. The site is available on Mac computers using a Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, or Safari browser. Take Safari as an example, if you're running on macOS 10.10 Yosemite or above, Netflix is directly available in its native browser - Safari (in latest version) - with the built-in settings for html5 videos. The only thing you need do is to open Safari and visit its official website, sign in your account and enjoy.
But conversely, if you want to watch Netflix movies or TV shows on Macbook Pro/Air, iMac based on macOS 10.9 Lion or earlier, you need to install a plug-in called Silverlight. Here comes the steps on how to install Sliverlight on Mac:
1. Open Netflix and select any title to play.
2. When a Silverlight dialog box opens, select Install Now.
3. Open the Downloads page and double-click on Silverlight.dmg. For Safari, the Downloads page is in the upper right corner of the browser.
4. Right-click or hold Control on your keyboard and select Silverlight.pkg. Select Open on the pop-up menu.
5. Select Open on the prompt that says Silverlight.pkg is not from the Mac App Store. Are you sure you want to open it? Opening Silverlight.pkg will always allow it to run on this Mac.
6. Follow the prompts to complete installation.

Safari works fine on streaming most of titles. But comparing to directly watch movies or TV shows on app like what you do on Windows, iPhone iPad, there are some limitations. You are unable to stream Netflix 4K movies, 3D movies on Mac. Mac computers support streaming up to 1080p, depending on your browser. (Google Chrome/Firefox up to 720p, Safari up to 1080p). But is there a way to watch Netflix 4K UHD, 1080p/720p HD on Macbook Pro/Air offline without a hiccup? Surely yes with an alternative to Netflix desktop App for Mac.
