Can't watch Netflix with Opera from Ubuntu Snap

I installed Opera on Ubuntu 18.04.1 using the Snap package. My version of Opera is 54.0.2952.71. I've been trying to follow previous posts on how to watch Netflix with Opera using Widevine but I can't find that anywhere in my browser. Is there anyway to get things working for Netflix or Amazon or Hulu with this newest version of Opera?

@leocg I looked there but didn't see any Widevine component. Is there another place I could check?

It means that the component isn't installed or couldn't be found. I don't know from where you can get it.

@leocg Is Widevine something that normally comes with Opera?

In Opera for Windows there's a folder called WidevineCdm in Opera's profile directory.

And when you go to opera://components, Widevine version is listed there.

I don't know about Opera for Linux.

I've being trying to watch netflix in Opera but widevine doesn't come with it. The moderators should already know this. I recommend you to use Vivaldi.

Please prove, to me at least, that vivaldi does come with widevine support...
I will not talk on how to get widevine support on opera, do a search.
