Could you build this?
Partial A Safari extension wrapper is easy, but manipulating Netflix's closed-source DRM-protected web video player to force 1080p and 5.1 surround sound requires delicate reverse engineering of proprietary client scripts and audio contexts.
What it would actually take: Built as a Safari Web Extension using JavaScript content scripts that inject into Netflix's player sandbox. The hard engineering involves reverse engineering Netflix's obfuscated `cadmium-playercore` scripts to spoof platform capability checks (EME / FairPlay DRM constraints) and hook the Web Audio API or multi-channel audio stream selectors to bypass artificial client-side bitrate and audio channel caps.
