When PlayReady is used for playing DRM contents, it supports hardware level DRM and screen recording prevention function same as current Edge browser. But considering the low market share of those browsers (4.5% for Edge and 3.7% for Safari), they cannot help but support other browsers as well.Īs a combination of the both browsers, can Chromium Edge solve the above problems of browser DRM? In conclusion, it cannot be a solution.īy testing preview version Edge, I found that the DRM support of Chromium Edge differs depending on each OS as below: Chromium Edge for Windows 10Ĭhromium Edge installed in Windows 10 supports both PlayReady and Widevine DRM. This is the first major browser which has two DRMs embedded. In terms of content services, it is more secure to support only those browsers that prevent screen recording. It is much safer from illegal leakage than playing DRM content on Chrome or FireFox. Therefore, these browsers prevent DRM video from being captured by screen recording tools.

The low market share of Edge and Safari browserĮdge on Windows 10 and Safari on mac OS each support PlayReady or FairPlay DRM with hardware/OS level security. However, Widevine DRM embedded in these browsers has software level security (Widevine Level 3), which makes it easy to copy DRM video using various screen recording tools. (As of May 2019, Chrome has 66% and Firefox has 9.6% of the market. The screen recording issue of Chrome and FireFox browserĬhrome and Firefox are the most popular browsers that occupy 75% of the desktop and laptop browser share. But there are still some problems that the multi-DRM technology couldn’t solve yet. Many online content services use multi-DRM for better usability of browser users. Multi-DRM technology allows content to be protected by platform-native DRM without browser plugins.
