I'm not sure why you are telling me this. It is correct (aside from typos), but doesn't affect what I said. FYI, widevine is not open source.

- charcircuit 4y agoWidevine isn't a browser. Similarly running GNU bash on Windows doesn't suddenly make GNU bash no longer open source even though it is calling out to closed source code.
- mort96 4y agoAn open source browser can not render standard web pages. A browser can either be open source and unable to render DRM content, or it can contain closed-source components and be able to render DRM content. Firefox + Widevine is the second kind, Firefox without Widevine is the first kind. It is illegal to make a fully open source browser which can render any standard web page.
