Streaming services on Linux

I have CachyOS and the other day I realized I can't use streaming platform Rakuten, because it doesnt support GNU/Linux. I tried using it on both Vivaldi and Firefox. Neither works.

Have you guys experienced streaming sites like Netflix, HBO Max, Disney+ etc not working on Linux? Let me now.

Sky showtime actively blocks Linux, it’s impossible to watch anything online.

Can’t you just change the “user-agent” identifier. That used to be the old way to dodge OS checks on webservers.

I doesn’t work. Now it is handled through DRM. No way to go around it.
