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.

    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

    Yeah on mobile it hasn't been the best experience comparatively so far on its own, but the extensions have made the difference for me. They're planning to open up mobile to a lot more (all?) of the extensions soon and I feel like it's gonna get a lot nicer to use after that. Could technically already use them all via beta or nightly using collections or something, but I prefer to use the release version.
