I just looked through update-widevine
script from vivaldi
package. It seems, instead of downloading the whole google-chrome-stable
package, you can just download the minimal component from https://dl.google.com/widevine-cdm/$WIDEVINE_VERSION-linux-$ARCH.zip
e.g. https://dl.google.com/widevine-cdm/4.10.1582.2-linux-x64.zip
.
The widevine versions are available at https://dl.google.com/widevine-cdm/versions.txt
.

Note: You do NOT need this package if you have Google Chrome installed.
