Your choice of browser matters — Google’s Web DRM and the open internet

https://grafcube.codeberg.page/blog/2023/08/06/web-drm-api.html

I wrote this blog post to inform the people I know who aren’t as tech savvy or otherwise don’t put any thought into their choice of browser. Another goal is to help get enough awareness on the topic and make sure it fails.

      Honestly the only issue I have with mobile firefox is how it refreshes when you app switch but I think that’s more of an android thing :(

      Yeah on mobile it hasn’t been the best experience comparatively so far on its own, but the extensions have made the difference for me. They’re planning to open up mobile to a lot more (all?) of the extensions soon and I feel like it’s gonna get a lot nicer to use after that. Could technically already use them all via beta or nightly using collections or something, but I prefer to use the release version.
