Your choice of browser matters — Google's Web DRM and the open internet

https://grafcube.codeberg.page/blog/2023/08/06/web-drm-api.html

I wrote this blog post to inform the people I know who aren't as tech savvy or otherwise don't put any thought into their choice of browser. Another goal is to help get enough awareness on the topic and make sure it fails.

Yeah I'm completely over to firefox now. I can't help but notice firefox mobile is still a bit sluggish though but eh

Really, Firefox on Android feels much better then Chrome for me. But maybe thats because of ublock.

Honestly the only issue I have with mobile firefox is how it refreshes when you app switch but I think that's more of an android thing :(

Try Fennec

I just switched to Fennec from Firefox Nightly when I found out it also supports custom add-on collections. Works great!

With Fennec you don't need custom collections, you can just install the official add-ons right away.

I'm talking about third party extensions that the Mozilla store doesn't let you install directly, at least the only way I've figured out how to add them is with the custom collections
