They mention a WideVine problem here, as a potential source.
I would expect at least a Netflix, would use something as
powerful as WideVine. One of the reasons nothing works on
my Seamonkey browser, is no WideVine module or plugin. It means
I can't view videos on my local TV station websites!

Firefox and Chrome might have WideVine. I don't know
if Chromium has WideVine. And WideVine is an example,
because you would expect it to use crypto for its
DRM management (handcuffs).

if the server handcuffs API version got bumped up, it
could be a crude way of saying to you "use the very latest
browser version to view this site" :-) I think you have
seen this behavior before. Like every morning when you get up.

This is why I keep a couple configurations. My "comfort"
configuration, with blockers and shit. And my
"fully compliant Hollywood ready" configuration,
approved by Mother Theresa herself. I test on the
blessed version, when the Comfort setup breaks, just
to see if anything can work. But it does not mean
I use the fully-compliant version all day long. Just
long enough for a plumbing test.
