Widevine DRM disabled for Linux environments

Hello,

Suddenly I discovered that I cannot play videos on certain platforms, like Crunchyroll, I contacted their support, and they said that Microsoft disabled Widevine DRM for Linux platforms. I went to edge://flags/#edge-widevine-drm and confirmed that indeed the flag is grey out and there is this message: Not available on your platform. (Enables the Widevine content decryption module in Microsoft Edge. – Mac, Windows), this was working just fine before, is there any workaround to overcome this issue and be able to continue using Edge as my default browser?

Thanks!

    Hi, Eddy Joel Guzmeli

    Welcome to the Microsoft community.

    I wish I could handle your problem, however issues related to Edge on Linux are beyond the scope of support provided by this forum, it is more suitable for publishing on Microsoft Learn, more users post these issues there, you can click on "Ask a question", there are experts who can provide more professional solutions in that place.    

    Here is a link to the forum where you can raise specific scenarios and share your idea to help solve the problem.
