Google Widevine Support
Google Widevine is a piece of Digital Rights Management (DRM) code that we at Brave Software do not own and cannot inspect. The Google Widevine code is loaded from Google servers, not from our servers. It is loaded only when you enable this option. We discourage the use of DRM, but we respect user choice and acknowledge that some Brave users would like to use services that require it.

You can view this as a DRM mandate canary if you like. It's still in Brave 0.13.0. That's all I have to say for now.
- BrendanEich 10y agoWe don't even load the DRM module (CDM) until that pref is enabled, note well.
