Amazon prime videos - can't play videos on Brave (requires Google Chrome instead)

Hi, Welcome to the Community!

I’m guessing you haven’t heard of or used Widevine before?

If that is the case, I would start there, by turning it on here:
brave://settings/extensions
Widevine
Use Widevine digital rights management (DRM) component to view protected streaming video and other content in the browser

First give that a shot, and BE SURE to RELAUNCH BRAVE, as it says to do & see if that fixes it. If it doesn’t come back and we’ll keep trying.

Also, Widevine is a Gxxgle component, obviously since Gxxgle runs Chrxme it’s on by default but due to Brave wanting to be as Anti-Gxxgle as possible (which I love and why I’m typing that the way that I am) they give the option to opt-in or out of using it. :wink:

For future reference, I’d recommend you adhere to the community guidelines…
