Description
SPOTIFY HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS NOW
I am going to briefly describe the problem with the Spotify Web Player, and why it doesn't work in Vivaldi/Chromium Browsers.
The problem has the following associated with it:
- Spotify Web Player has the blank screen/black screen when you first load it.
- Spotify Web Player uses the Widevine Codec, which already causes many problems.
- Spotify Web Player forces me to have the Openvide Codec enabled, which is already done on many Chromium Browsers.
- Spotify Web Player has no known alternative codecs enabled for the Web Player.
I am going to attach this screenshot to prove that Spotify Web Player has the black screen:
Here is the Widevine Content Decryption Module (Widevine Codec):
Additional discussion is here (still unresolved):

As of now, I have gotten this Account Error:
Here is my browser version:
Please fix this as soon as possible!
Thank you, and Happy New Year!
