> [!question]- What is DRM?
> [Digital Rights Management](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management) (DRM) is a technology used to control how digital content, such as videos and music, can be accessed and used. DRM is commonly used by streaming services to protect copyrighted content. When you try to play DRM-protected content, the website verifies if the necessary DRM software is available on your browser. Most browsers use [**Widevine**](https://www.widevine.com), a DRM technology developed by Google, to facilitate this.
Zen Browser currently lacks DRM-support, because it does not have a Widevine license. Acquiring such a license requires the payment of large fees (at least $5,000). Acquiring this license is financially unresponsible for the developer of Zen. This means that DRM-protected media cannot be played in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. If support grows and the developer receives sufficient funding, a Widevine license may be considered.

Acquiring this license is financially unresponsible for the developer of Zen. This means that DRM-protected media cannot be played in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future.
We have to also consider that in order to be able to apply for this license, Zen must be a part of a company with size at least as big as Mozilla or Brave.
Feel free to support the funding of a Widevine license for Zen on [Ko-Fi](https://ko-fi.com/zen_browser) or [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/zen_browser)!
