"Mozilla was in a tough position when it decided to adopt DRM in its browser. It’s already having a hard time hanging on to its existing users and most of its users probably don’t care all that much about DRM, but they would care if Netflix suddenly stopped working."

The few people still using Firefox in 2015 were *precisely* the people who opposed DRM more than they wanted to watch NetFix in their browser. If you weren't around at the time, and you want to understand how deeply betrayed we felt by Mozilla's decision ...
Imagine Mastodon decided to add a proprietary DRM module to its apps, made by Meta, so that Mastodon accounts could follow FarceBook accounts. This would go down like a cup of cold sick. Right?
Just like Mozilla's DRM decision.
