Try a different browser. The fastest way to find out if Netflix error code M-7353 is a browser issue is to try using a different browser.

If everything is working, you know it was the previous browser (and most likely just extensions attached to the browser). Restart your computer. If you don’t want to try a different browser, then a simple (but proper) restart of your computer might solve the issue because sometimes browser extensions can cache data that prevents streaming. If you restart your computer, you may find that data is cleared out, and everything works just fine. Turn off browser extensions. Once your computer has restarted, and if Netflix is still not working correctly, then it’s time to try turning off your browser extensions. You have two options.

Alternatively, you can turn them all off and turn them back on one at a time until you find the extension that’s interfering with Netflix. Clear Netflix cookies.
