DRM (Video Playing Issue)

What is DRM

DRM (Digital Rights Management) is a copyright protection mechanism.
When you try to play content protected with DRM, the website checks if the necessary DRM is available.
Most browsers use Widevine, a DRM made by Google.

Floorp doesn’t have a Widevine license.
Therefore, you can’t play protected videos or music in Floorp.

Why Floorp Doesn’t Have a License

Acquiring a license requires Floorp developers to pay at least 5000 USD to DRM providers.

Floorp is part of Ablaze, a group of Japanese software developers.
This issue won’t be resolved as the group is not commercially oriented.

How to Play DRM-Protected Content

You can use major browsers like Firefox or Chrome, which have the necessary licenses.
