A Standalone Video Player for Netflix, YouTube, Twitch on Ubuntu 19.04

Snap apps are a godsend. ElectronPlayer is an Electron based app available on Snapstore that doubles up as a standalone media player for video streaming services such as Netflix, YouTube, Twitch, Floatplane etc.

And it works great on Ubuntu 19.04 "disco dingo". From what we've tested, Netflix works like a charm, so does YouTube. ElectronPlayer also has a picture-in-picture mode that let it run above desktop and full screen applications.

For me, this is great because I can free-up tabs on my Firefox window which are almost never clutter-free.
