One of the things that piss me off is that sometimes even forks are not accepted.
For example Formula 1 TV doesn't work on my SmartTV or on some of my browsers despite them being forks of Chrome, where it works just fine.
Not only that, it used to work there in the past, what happened is now it actively detects if the browser is a real Google Chrome from Google (not a recompiled version), and refuse to work otherwise, even if technically it could work just fine.
- 0x457 4y agoF1 TV probably doesn't work for another reason, it's most likely missing the right DRM module.
- speeder 4y agoI thought it was that and installed the DRM needed (widevine) on other browsers. Unless the browser is basically official Chrome or official Firefox (and even then it fails often on Firefox) it just barfs.
