Widevine is the defacto standard proprietary technology for DRM-locked content. It’s used by all the major streaming services like Netflix and Disney+. Without it, publishers would not make their content available to those platforms for fear of rampant piracy. I guess Widevine requires some sort of vetted relationship with any browser that wants to use their tech.

Weird how every show / movie shows up in a full 4K rip on usenet the next day still. It’s almost like DRM doesn’t stop piracy.
