What with Widevine aka Netflix and other proprietary audio and video streams? Yeah this is question for the future (better Web+ and GPU video decode), but I’m curious.

Well it’s closed source and apparently a bit unfriendly to 3rd party. So, probably not until Google ports Chrome to Haiku?

Why do we need this? What about Firefox and Safari, how do they can play Netflix?
They (at least Firefox) use the Adobe CDM (Content Decryption Module) which is also a DRM, and is also non-free software. So yeah, basically Firefox is not Free Software anymore since it depends on this crap (ok the one shipped on Debian has it stripped out but you get it). And the W3C has failed on us badly on this by letting this happen with their blessing.
Good luck getting Adobe port their thing to Haiku. yellowTab approached Macromedia to license Flash at some point and the figures they wanted (both license cost and per CD fee) were outrageous.

Apparently Firefox switched to Widevine as well.
