The website doesn't deliver 1080p video in any browser but Edge (and this may have changed with Edge being switched to Chromium)

I'm pretty sure I watch HD Netflix in Safari. Surely I can't be watching 720p and be deceiving myself?

HD starts at 720p.

The difference between Netflix 1080 and 720p is often pretty small, so you might've really just not noticed. They're generally streaming with pretty poor bit-rates

The first time I watched a pirated episode after years of streaming from Netflix was pretty eye opening for me wrt video quality.

Safari on Mac OS can do 4k. Chrome will top out at 720p.

You can check for yourself, hit Ctrl-Alt-Shift-D during playback to show a bunch of stats on the stream, including the current resolution being shown.

Chrome works in 1080p, but has a 1 in something chance of crashing your graphics driver for some reason. After I had to force restart my pc from a black screen for the 3rd time I eventually moved the the desktop app which doesn't have those problems.
