1. Update your browser. This first step applies to Chrome and all browsers installed on your device. Netflix has the details of the supported browsers you should use.

As hardware acceleration improves the general performance of the browser, keep the setting enabled if something else causes the Netflix Error Code M7121. Also, check if you can watch Netflix on full screen as hardware acceleration sometimes causes issues with this view.
   

6. Disable Chrome extensions. When the error strikes after installing an extension, then removing it is an easy fix. A buggy or an old extension can also throw problems.

Most browsers use extensions and add-ons, so this fix applies to all browsers as well.
