I remember how just a few years ago, people were annoyed by the fact they couldn't watch Netflix on FreeBSD because of the absence of this widevine thing. But I guess linuxulator is more advanced now than it was just a few years ago; that's why the widevine thing is finally available for FreeBSD.
No, that isn't the reason.
If it was easy to make widevine run under linuxulator in the year 2017, 2018, or 2019, then why wasn't linuxulator-based widevine available back then? widevine for linuxulator-based google chrome appeared less than 4 years ago and as far as I remember, google chrome itself couldn't run under linuxulator just a few years ago. Foreign-cdm for the native chromium browser became available less than a year ago.
It's an indirect result of my work on the Steam wrapper script, as you can see from https://github.com/mrclksr/linux-br...8faa3a6d73ac1cdb/linux-browser-installer#L338 (through https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/...-google-chrome-linux-binary-on-freebsd.77559/, which is derived from https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/compat-linux-microsoft-teams.75356/post-463091). I am actually moderately annoyed by its existence, since it interferes with the said set of scripts.
I think that the Mozilla devs meant a different kind of console:
