Why is Widevine installed even though DRM-controlled content is not supported?
As mentioned in this article, Floorp may encounter issues when playing content from services like Netflix or Spotify.
Widevine has security levels ranging from L1 to L3, with L1 being the highest. The security level determines what content can be played. For example, L1 is required to play HD content on Netflix. However, the version of Widevine installed on Floorp is the lowest level, Widevine L3. This level may restrict content quality or even prevent content playback altogether.
