The Molotov application now has direct access via a web browser. A seemingly minor change, but one that should make life much easier for the user. Molotov is in trouble today as private channels have declared war on him.
The Molotov application enters the future… or rather the present. From now on, it is possible to access it directly through your web browser. It doesn’t seem like much, like this, but it is a small revolution for the service.
Molotov is available on PC, but to use it, you had to download an application, then install it, then go through it to finally enjoy it. A process which is certainly not very complicated, but which could discourage more than one. From now on, It’s over.
Molotov finally arrives on browser
When the user goes to the Molotov site, they are offered two choices: either download the application, either go directly through the browser. Going through the web, the use does not change. We have exactly the same service. Of course, you will need an account to log in.
As a reminder, Molotov is an application that allows you to watch live tv channels, but also to review past programs, like a classic VOD platform. Available on PC (via app and web, therefore), it is also on iOS and Android. This is a very practical application that offers a subscription system for those who want to enjoy replay and paid channels. Perfect for watching a movie you missed the night before.

However, Molotov’s success did not please everyone, especially the television networks. TF1 and M6, for example, demanded that their access is placed behind a “paywall”, therefore impossible to access it free of charge. The company must also pay a fine of 8.5 million euros to TF1 for having broadcast it for free, and this after a previous fine of 7 million euros to be paid to the M6 group.
Despite these pitfalls, Molotov seems to hold its own and continues to attract users. The service claims more than 4 million active subscribers. Recently, it was bought by the American group FuboTV for 164 million euros.
