Only Microsoft Edge will play Netflix content at 1080p on your PC
- mtgx 10y agoI like how this post tries to make it sound as if it's some kind of technical achievement that Microsoft was capable of but the other browser vendors weren't. This is because of HTML5 DRM, which many here cheered when it came "because it would get rid of plugins". Now that same DRM is going to give Microsoft monopoly power over what kind of apps get to use its Windows DRM for HTML5 video. DRM is no good at stopping piracy, but it's certainly amazing for creating monopolists in the content industry.
