#Fediverse peeps: @brave vs @firefox on countering #DRM…go! Gimme more than “Brave is still based on Chromium…”
Brave is based on chromium and chromium is controlled by google.
And a Browser that did/planed on implementing a Crypto Miner i dont trust.
Firefox is the ROOT of a browser not a branch of it. Librefox is even more solid.
Brave for the compatibility with websites (because most website designers are testing against Chrome), out of the box it’s hardened for privacy, and we’ll play DRMed content when you need it to.
Though I have heard nice things about Vivaldi as well. I may look at that in the future.
@roninsysadm @brave @firefox The DRM question is actually the opposite: will Brave be able to block the new Chrome-sponsored WEI, DRM-for-ads scheme?
Ah my apologies. I’d say Brave out of the box then. It has Google’s DRM blocked by default and I would see them continuing the trend, making it more opt-in. Time will tell.
It has Google’s DRM blocked by default
What? They are only just planning it, it does not exist yet. Or did I misunderstand something?
making it more opt-in
The thing is, websites that will use this tech will not be making it opt-in. They’ll be blocking users not supporting it
Any arguments for Brave are short-sighted given that (at this point) if Firefox goes we lose the whole battle for open web standards.
I do believe that Firefox is the best browser, but even if it wasn’t it would have to be significantly worse than the others for me to justify not using it.
