Still, today, we’re looking at something more focused on the privacy and safety of individual users: Brave Browser. Opera is doing a good job of being the world’s first alternative browser optimized for Chromebooks.

However, it now seems like a great idea to have a replacement browser readily available on your trusty Chrome OS laptop. While you can easily opt out of Google’s FloC program and continue using Chrome like normal, the whole incident has raised serious concerns regarding the reliability of this browser, which, in most cases, is always top-notch. After this debacle, opinions have been formulating left and right, including from Forbes, that it’s time to ditch Google Chrome for the better. That’s nothing but a flawed concept since many people have recently scrutinized the tech giant for trying to implement FloC, which is Google’s own alternative to the conventional cookies in our browser. Maybe because on Netfix I selected Do not ask again, right? However, Spotify tells me to secure playback, that is, to enable Widevine.However, this does not necessarily mean that the former is the only browser worth looking at in the world. I went to Spotify with my main profile and I wasn’t prompted. You should also be prompted without having to login. Where can I find my profile? Is located in Library/Application Support/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/default?Ĭan you actually – on your original/main profile – try going to a different site that requires Widevine and see if you’re prompted there? Hulu and Spotify, for example, both require Widevine to run properly. However, I don’t see any folder with the name of my profile. Yes, I see Widevine folder on Library/Application Support/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser. What’s happening here seems to be a permissions hiccup. You needn’t install a separate widevine component on each profile.

The Widevinecdm component data should be stored in Library/Application Support/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser towards the bottom – not in the individual profile directories.
