+1, switched to Chrome with regret, because of Ff's bloating UI in 3-3.6 and its accompanying slowness.
-1 to the logic of switching "if they implement drm": If your drmized content isn't available in FF, you'll have all incentives to come back. Unfortunately.
- cabalamat 13y ago> -1 to the logic of switching "if they implement drm": If your drmized content isn't available in FF, you'll have all incentives to come back. No I won't. I'll either find an uncrippled version of the content -- for example on TPB -- or I simply won't look at it. DRM is a perversion of the WWW, and Berners-Lee is wrong to allow his invention to be sullied in this way. The web has been successful because it consists of open standards which means anyone can build on it. Just as tcp/ip is an open standard and Berners-Lee didn't need anyone's permission to build http and html. Take away that openness, and you'll be destroying something very valuable. If the MAFIAA don't like the open web and want a locked-down system, let them build their own. I'm sure it'll be every bit as successful as Windows RT or the Ford Edsel were.
- untog 13y agoI think aragot was using 'you' to mean 'the user'. While you may be motivated to find uncrippled versions of the content, you can rest assured that the vast majority of users will not, and will just switch browser.
- cabalamat 13y agoYou're probably right, although having said that I know lots of people who don't have an IT background who use BitTorrent because it is less hassle than DRM.
- devcpp 13y agoPlease consider switching back to FF, at least for the same reasons, if not for all the other ones (FOSS, no backdoors and so on). If you want the same look as Chrome, try the UX nightlies. Butter smooth too. Best browser ever.
