MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for widevine [2]: This package is broken and not compatible with Arch Linux x86_64. It is also unneeded for Chromium or Firefox, as both of them can download the widewine module on-demand, if the user enables support for DRM-protected content. There is an AUR/chromium-widevine [a] that is compatible with Arch Linux and can be used with other packages that need widewine, like the silo-{netflix,primevideo} standalone apps or the qtwebflix-git plugin. Therefore keeping AUR/widewine is both pointless and superfluous.
