I think it happened after I updated my system yesterday. I cannot watch Netflix any more because it says I don't have Silverlight. Looking at chrome:plugins, there is no plugin for Silverlight. I tried disabling and re-enabling the plugin (sudo pipelight-plugin...). It was enabled without any error. Still the same. Any idea what's going on?

Chrome has dropped support of NPAPI plugins and only supports PPAPI plugins. Since pipelight is (likely) a NPAPI plugin, it cannot be used in Chrome.

I can use pipelight to access Netflix perfectly on my laptop. We should spoof the user agent to a browser running on either Windows/Mac since Netflix is not officially available for Linux. I recommend the following settings.
Chrome: User Agent Switcher Extension - Switch to Windows Firefox15
Firefox: User Agent Overrider - Switch to Windows Firefox26
