    The issue is that Firefox needs an org to get the Widevine DRM from its vendor (Google). Without it, they can’t support Netflix or Apple TV or YouTube.

      Yet more proof that the DMCA needs to be repealed and DRM needs to be illegal.

      Or we can just drop DRM from the Standard. It’s honestly about 15 years past about time.

          Youtube vids doesn’t use DRM, at least not for the free offerings.

          In fact, via yt-dlp you can download Youtube stuff in a variety of free formats.

          Cope.
