I cancelled my subscription since I received a notification that my browser is not supported. Perhaps I should have mentioned my issues with DRM as well, but this may have gone too far. One message is clear, too many messages are noise.

I wish Firefox didn’t support DRM of any kind.

DRM is a mistake and shouldn’t be considered a “web standard”

I agree DRM sucks, but if Firefox didn’t support it, even more people would flock to Chrome. You can disable it though.

Can you though? It still involves bundling non-free software that is basicly malware (software the harms the user)

Yes, you can disable Firefox’s DRM feature, which means DRM code will not run and you won’t see DRM-protected content.

I agree but admit that I share some responsibility as DRM is optional and I choose to enable it for some sites. Quite often, when a site is less essential to me (or its DRM features) I decline them. The more we decline them, the more probable that there will be free alternatives of some services.
