Not our problem. They can take the web or leave it. Why should we pander to them and screw up a good thing in the process?
- robmcm 13y agoThey currently are leaving it, there is a lot of content I can't get through a web browser that I can through a native app or through a plugin player.
- fafner 13y agoAnd that's fine. If they want DRM they should write a proprietary app or plugin. But we shouldn't turn the web into a proprietary app controlled by Microsoft, Google, and Apple.
- robmcm 13y agoI would rather have a seamless experience in the browser than having to switch to native apps all the time. The web is a proprietary app controlled by the w3c, who are mainly Microsoft, Google and Apple. You can believe it's an open platform, but if that's the case it should be easy for you to block DRM ;) Good luck
- fafner 13y agoSo you'd rather give up on the open web and turn it into a proprietary system? Just for a seamless experience? Sorry to say this. But that's just plain stupid. The web is not proprietary, not an app, and only to some extend controlled by the w3c, which is much more than Microsoft, Google, and Apple.
