Please note: This list is maintained, however, it may become out of date periodically as platforms change support.
Google regularly deprecates old versions of the Widevine CDM for browsers as a security measure. This means old versions of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Opera using an outdated Widevine CDM won’t be able to use DRM.
