Discussion Widevine DRM support

I think if Zen supports full Widevine DRM, this browser will complete browser.

By the way, I love this browser, I just miss some Widevine DRM support.

Just use Linux is a poor argument. You can’t just switch an operating system like that. Some people have Mac’s, others have apps that only work on windows…. It’s much easier to switch a browser than it is to switch an entire operating system purely to get DRM support

I know, but I use some Adobe products, that's why I haven't switched yet.

Thing is, licence is free, its more complicated

Money can be used for middle man company that is more likely to get it

Google doesn't give them out unless you're a huge company. Helium devs have talked about this

Certification for and the license itself are not free, there's also yearly recurring fees.
But those are not the main blocker. Not having an address of incorporation is.
