Mullvad is not meant to be an everyday browser. It’s for security and privacy. DRM will never work in Mullvad.
Here’s more:
Mullvad Browser, designed for privacy, does not support DRM content and is not intended for full-featured general-purpose web browsing. It prioritizes anonymity and security by disabling features like sync and Encrypted Media Extensions (EME).
Here’s a more detailed explanation:
Focus on Privacy:
The Mullvad Browser is built with privacy as its core principle, aiming to minimize tracking and digital fingerprinting.
No DRM Support:
To achieve this, the browser disables features like Encrypted Media Extensions (EME), which are necessary for playing DRM-protected content.
Default Private Mode:
Mullvad Browser defaults to private browsing mode, meaning no cookies, cache, or history are saved between sessions.
Anti-Fingerprinting:
The browser takes steps to obfuscate information that could be used to identify a user, such as screen dimensions, available fonts, and web APIs.
Not a General Purpose Browser:
While the browser can be used for general browsing, it is not designed to be a full-featured general-purpose browser, as it lacks features like DRM support.
Recommended Use:
Mullvad Browser is recommended for users who prioritize strong privacy protections and anti-fingerprinting.
Open Source:
The Mullvad Browser is free and open-source software.
