@mtrftw can you try with https://open.spotify.com/? Let me know if it still not prompt you to install Widevine.

Hi @eljuno, no luck with open.spotify.com either.

I am also experiencing this issue. Let me know if you would like a full bug report from me as well?

Amazon Prime videos on Amazon.co.uk are also unable to play. Please see my screenshot below:

@eljuno I think this occurs if you visit a site that wants to install wildvine and you have shields on the first time. . I was able to get prompted for wildvine by creating another profile and ensuring shields were off the first time I visited the site.

Yes, if I click my profile icon at the top right of Brave, then click ‘Open Guest window’, then navigate to Netflix.com I will get prompted to allow Widevine (I get this prompt in the Guest window with or without Shields up), see screenshot below:

But then if I click ‘Allow’ and try to play a video I get the same error message as before:
