The major EME providers are PlayReady, which is Microsoft, and Widevine, which is Google.
You've already given those two companies pretty broad permission to run binaries on your computer (unless you use Firefox on Linux) so I'm not sure what the incremental security issue really is.
- CaptSpify 10y agoThat's quite the invalid assumption. Additionally, if I let Google run binaries on my system in one spot, it does not mean I have given them full access to run binaries elsewhere.
- guyzero 10y agoI suppose but when you're already using Chrome using the Widevine CDM isn't a huge difference. When you're using Edge using the PlayReady CDM isn't a huge difference. I see the general theory of the argument for Opera and especially Firefox but even so, why trust a CDM blob less than any other commercial binary?
