Package: chromium
Version: 83.0.4103.116-3+b1
Severity: normal

GeForce Now has recently released a web app version of their service for
Chrome OS. Some have confirmed that it works on Linux in Google Chrome and
in a few of Chromium-based browsers, as long as you change User-Agent to
that of Chrome OS to make the website let you through[1]. It also works in
Freeworld Chromium[2], which is a Chromium with some vaapi and widevine
patches applied[3]. Chromium on Testing and Sid has vaapi enabled and I
have put libwidevinecdm.so at ~/.local/lib/libwidevinecdm.so as
per README.Debian instructions, so I have expected it to work. However, I'm
unable to get GeForce Now working. When starting a game and sitting though
the free tier waiting queue, GeForce Now webwise says: "ERROR CODE:
0xC0F2220E" - the same error code that a Fedora user solved
by using Freeworld Chromium instead of Fedora's Chromium[2]. Perhaps
Debian's Chromium is missing some patches to get this working, given that
Freeworld Chromium reportedly works?

Debian Testing, amd64, Intel i7-2600K iGPU.
