If you’re a Netflix user and a Mac user, you may have noticed that there is no official Netflix app for Mac. However, there is a cool workaround that will work very similarly to a real Netflix app that you can even add to your dock. In this blog post, we’ll go over the step-by-step process to add Netflix to your Mac dock.
First, open up your browser and go to the Netflix homepage. Once you’re there, click once on the tab, and then you can grab the URL of that page by clicking and then drag it to your desktop or any other folder which will create a browser shortcut for that page in this case Netflix.
Next, go to macosicons.com and type Netflix in the search bar. Choose an icon that you like, and then simply click on it, and it will download to your computer.
After that, command-click or right-click on the Netflix shortcut that you made previously and choose “Get Info.” From here, just drag the nicer icon into the top left corner of the info menu. This will replace the ugly shortcut icon with a nicer Netflix icon. You can also rename the shortcut to say Netflix instead of having a link as its name.
Now, you can add this new Netflix app into your dock, and once you click on it, Netflix will open up in your default browser. This method works with any website, so you’re free to create apps from websites like Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, and so on.
In conclusion, if you’re a Netflix user and want to add it to your Mac dock, this is an easy workaround that will work just as well as a real app. Try it out for yourself and enjoy easy access to your favorite shows and movies.
