At one point, he added the "Wikipedia of the alt right" to the list of Brave's search engines. Reason: unknown.

However, since moving to the new repository in 2017 the described file and functionality seems to be gone, I searched for this in the new repo and even for terms such as "whitelist" and "allowlist" and I cannot find anything.

This issue is tracked by Brave here and here. It looks like it's a low priority, but ScriptSafe might help; "prevent system fonts from being enumerated through elements."

>Google bought widevine last year.

Google bought widewine in 2010

>Google didn't invent that particular DRM, but now that it's widespread, they have bought it outright.

It invented most of it, in the last 10 years it owned widevine.

As for how open widevine is:

Or as Brian Bondy, of Brave, put it:

So yeah, you can fork chromium and make your own nifty browser. But do not expect being able to play any video from any paid streaming service any time soon or ever.

FYI a number of streaming sites won't work - while this has Widevine, it does not have Verified Media Path (VMP) which verifies that you're running a signed binary. https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium-Win-AVX2/issues/84#iss...

https://github.com/castlabs/electron-releases is an interesting Electron fork with full Widevine+VMP support - but it's very much closed-source.

I just use gnome web and make my own electron apps to play DRM with castlabs electron fork (https://github.com/castlabs/electron-releases) . I've been doing this for a while and it works well.

first i got the error that "widevine content descryption module" was not found, so i installed "https://github.com/castlabs/electron-releases" now i get netflix error M71121-1331 anyone ever got netflic/similar streaming sites to work within electron?

The link [0] still seems to work and redirects to https://github.com/castlabs/electron-releases/discussions/24 for me.
