Honestly, I&#x27;m not against online&#x2F;streaming content being protected with DRM. I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s very effective but it doesn&#x27;t effect me as I don&#x27;t own the content so I don&#x27;t really care.<p>This seems to be a step to far though. The browser should be a standards based &#x27;viewer&#x27; that anyone with the will and the time can create. Let&#x27;s say Netflix implements this DRM. They account for more than a third of internet traffic. If your browser can&#x27;t support Netflix it&#x27;s dead in the water.<p>This is open to so much abuse. The gatekeepers (it seems to be the entertainment companies in this case) get to choose which browsers live and die. As we&#x27;ve seen over the last 20 years competition in the browser space is very important - without Mozilla stepping up and competing with IE I can&#x27;t imagine the sorry state the internet would be in today.<p>Edit: Once again, the DMCA rears it&#x27;s ugly head. Time and again it seems to be the thing that is abused to screw over consumers. Maybe that&#x27;s what we should actually be fighting against.
