I for one hope they keep this promise better than the EME one, about which I'm still super salty

- jraph 7y agoI don't know. I hate DRMs and so far I've successfully managed to avoid using EME. But I recently said good things about Firefox to someone, and noticed one day that they switched to it from Edge. It felt like a small victory. This person uses Netflix and Spotify. If Firefox didn't support EME, they would not have ditched Spotify and Netflix. They would probably have gone back to Edge, or installed Chrome and used EME from there. EME would not exist in my ideal world but in this case I'm kind of happy EME works in Firefox. Using Firefox over Edge or Chrome is a net gain. Maybe this person will evolve and start to refuse DRMs and/or seek free software (one can dream), but this is not today. Firefox acts like an entry point to this world. If the entry point is too rough, it will not be taken. One thing at a time. EME is a lost battle, but the war is not over.
