I don't like DRM, but Mozilla isn't forcing it down your throat either. How is a plugin (the Adobe EME thingy) that isn't installed by default that you can download to decode encrypted video, worse than the current situation where we have to download a plugin to decode encrypted video (Flash, Silverlight)?
Sure, it isn't better, but it isn't worse either. If you use another browser you don't even have the choice, then Google or Microsoft makes that choice for you.
- kijin 12y agoAs far as the implementation goes, I believe it's more or less the same as Flash and Silverlight. But EME has an advantage that Flash and Silverlight don't have: it has W3C's stamp of approval. That makes it much more difficult for people to argue against using it.
