The Apple TV app is built into macOS and, recently, Amazon Prime has introduced one too, both of which let you download content. I doubt you’ll ever be able to download from the browser, but Netflix may introduce an app for the Mac. Unfortunately, Netflix isn’t one of them and a search of the App Store will not yield results. M1 Macs can run selected iOS or iPadOS apps. What about using the Netflix iOS or iPadOS app on an M1 Mac? A browser, on the other hand, would have to download the file to your Downloads folder (or wherever you direct the resulting file to), which you could then freely access and share. To ensure you’re not sharing Netflix shows, the app locks the download to the Netflix app. Unlike the apps, which are purpose-built and secured by Netflix, with a browser you’re at the whim of how it and the corresponding operating system works. Why can’t I download a show via the browser?
