Streaming arrives. Slash 1.1.0 adds Widevine DRM, so Netflix, Spotify, Disney+, Prime, and other paid streaming now play. (Regular video already worked.)

On by default, with one honest privacy trade-off: the Widevine CDM is downloaded from Google by Chromium's component updater. That is the only component that contacts Google. No telemetry, variations, sync, or account. Details in PRIVACY.md.

Everything from 1.0.0 is still here: the AI panel, profiles, ad/tracker blocking, the memory dashboard, import, and more.

Install (Windows): the installer is unsigned, so SmartScreen warns on first run. Click "More info", then "Run anyway". (The app's media binaries are VMP-signed for Widevine; that is separate from Windows code signing, which is still on the roadmap.)

Streaming quality: DRM video plays but caps below full HD (Netflix ~540p, others vary), not 1080p/4K. High-def DRM needs hardware support (Widevine L1) that Electron cannot provide, the same ceiling Firefox hits. Audio, YouTube, and non-DRM video are full quality.
