Hi Poissonchat,
I do not have a Netflix account, so I cannot try it. But, many people claim they have it working in Google Chrome, Firefox, etc...
I decided to try and give you and anyone else instructions on how to download and compile
QtWebFlix for Linux Mint 19.x. I think I included all the required software packages to compile
QtWebFlix in these instructions. If you get any errors when running these, let me know.
How to download and compile QtWebFlix for Netflix
Open a console terminal, type in, or copy & paste, each line below one by one: Click "Select All" above command, right-click the highlighted command, select Copy (or Ctrl+Insert), click in the console terminal window, and right click paste (or Shift+Insert or Control+Shift+v), repeat for each command.
Step1: Install programs necessary for compiling applications from source code.

qtwebflix application
At this point, you can type in "
./qtwebflix" to see if it compiled correctly and runs
or just Exit the console terminal window.
"
qtwebflix" program will be in the "/
qtwebflix" folder in your home folder, just double-click it to run it, or you can create a desktop launcher shortcut or menu item to this file.
Their icon (
