> All major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave) have native Linux builds. Full support. No compromises. Full support ? I thought that the DRM were not the same (e.g. Disney+ and Amazon Prime limited to 480p on Linux which is a scam... At least, I remember having to hack something to use the Windows version of Chrome with WINE in order to get a decent image with Amazon Prime when I got a 6-month offered subscription a few years ago) | ||

That's correct, proper open source Linux is always limited to the weakest tiers of streaming DRM (i.e. fully software based) which usually means you only get low resolution streams. Locked-down Linux derivatives like ChromeOS and Android can support the stronger DRM tiers of course but that's not the same thing. | ||

Widevine on Linux now is 720p. I usually don’t notice, only once in a while that show is not full HD. | ||
