DRM is the epitome of prioritizing profits rather than people and disrespecting users. In search of profits for their stakeholders, the WHATWG and the W3C has made it impossible to make an open source web browser which can render standard web pages.

You can not just selectively ignore groups of stakeholders whom you are not a member of. The web should be made good for everyone. >the WHATWG and the W3C has made it impossible to make an open source web browser which can render standard web pages. Chromium is an open source browser which can do that.
- mort96 4y agoChromium can render DRM content using a closed source component. An open source browser can not render standard web pages, because DRM is part of the standard and DRM requires a closed-source component.
