DRM enabled Google to have an open source browser still under its control
I think the blame needs to be directed at the video streaming companies, not at Google.  Can you go to Netflix and just download a .mp4 of their latest show?  Nope.  That&#x27;s on them, not Google.  If Netflix cared about a cross-browser experience or open standards, the tools are available to them.<p>With that in mind, they should really hire someone that has access to Usenet or a private Bittorrent tracker.  All of Netflix&#x27;s shows are available for free in 4k there.  Google sold them DRM that doesn&#x27;t actually work.  Netflix paid their employees millions of dollars to have meetings and develop code to work with the idea in mind that Google&#x27;s magic beans would save their content from piracy.  It didn&#x27;t work, though.<p>You should be mad at Netflix.  Netflix should be mad at Google.  But everyone just carries on like everything is great.  It&#x27;s weird.
