It’s also that Chrome is derived from an open source core which allows companies like Microsoft to use their engine to compete with them. So it is better than the IE days in that way.
- nikitaga 6y agoMuch good that "open source" will do you if you can't get a Widevine license from Google. https://blog.samuelmaddock.com/posts/google-widevine-blocked-my-browser/ https://blog.samuelmaddock.com/posts/google-widevine-blocked... And this bullshit even before "Pax Chromana". Imagine the things to come. It's like we've learned nothing.
- srtjstjsj 6y agoWidevine is DRM so there's no reason for a freedom activist to want it.
- nikitaga 6y agoThis has nothing to do with "freedom activists". Besides, "freedom activists" don't need to watch news clips or youtube? Or are they so short-sighted they think DRM will remain limited to entertainment services like Netflix and Hulu? Do "freedom activists" want to live in a world where you need Google's permission to compete with their browser? Is that the kind of freedom they're activisming about? Freedom from the tyranny of non-Google choices?
