Suggested workaround:

And OP's reply:

In Firefox, about:config -> general.useragent.override (select string type) ->

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:106.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/106.0

enable drm. Couldn't get it to work in chrome.

In Chromium-based browsers, you can do it in Dev Tools > "three dots menu" > More Tools > Network Conditions > User Agent > "Chrome - Windows"

This worked for me and I was able to watch a movie last night in Disney+, using Brave Browser on Ubuntu 22.04.

The only problem is that, unlike the one in Firefox, this is not a permanent setting, it's only applied to the current tab.
