It wouldn't surprise me if such thing comes to firefox in the upcoming months.
The firefox crew keeps fucking things up when it comes to take major decisions.
Once servo is fully implemented in firefox it would be the time to make a good fully FLOSS fork of firefox and ditch all the fuckeries they did in the past years.

>>59030785
some pay-for-stream sites like kekflix require you to use that addon to play their videos. It decodes the video, enables HDCP etc.

can someone tell me where i can find exhenti extention and 4chanx for firefox?

Of course Firefox has EME support, but they let their users enable it or disable it according to their needs or preferences.
They even went as far as providing special EME-Free builds for people who don't like proprietary components on their devices.
https://techcrunch.com/2015/05/12/mozilla-launches-a-new-firefox-version-without-drm-support/

>>59030956
Nothing can stop them if they want to include drm-management as a core feature and not as a plugin. They can stop providing that version at any time, we can't do anything about that but be prepared to switch to a more open version ie a independant fork.

>>59030950
>Just create an account before the cutoff

THIS IS TOO HARD I JUST WANNA SHITPOST

That's just slippery slope bullshit. The fact is there is no plan to provide EME support beyond a third party plugin.

this. chromium won't be affected by this as long as you actually understand the source code and use the damn thing for what it's supposed to be used for

>>59031216
if you just download it and compile it for /g/ hipster points, then most likely, yes. if you don't have the time to go through the source and take out all the botnet + drm shit, then definitely. but if you don't do that, you shouldn't be using chromium

>inb4 where's the botnet shit

i parsed literally every fucking bit of my openbsd to take out the nsa backdoors, and it took me a little under a year. my chromium is solid as shit. and although i contribute language libraries, i'll be fucked up my little butthole before i share any of that shit with a bunch of casuals after all the fucking work i put into it. enjoy your botnets and backdoors, casuals

but why would anyone on /g/ care? i somehow don't see the average /g/eezer streaming DRM content on legit streaming sites in the first place, let alone whining about the fact DRM is being enforced.

Widevine DRM only enables you to playback EME videos on services such as Netflix, it's the least of your worries when you're using Chrome Botnet

>>59031408
This. If you're using Chrome it's stupid to complain about DRM.

So what kind of content is blocked with this DRM?
Like, what websites does it protect against?
Does it do something similar to content matching on YouTube, where similar frames automatically get flagged?

Everything's a foot in the door according to paranoid /pol/.

>>59030941

DRM doesn't actually have the ability to do that.

>>59031473
You can simply not use it at all! Nobody's forcing you to visit websites that use EME.

>>59031501
exactly my point, friendo. seems to me the only people who give a fuck about EME content don't give a single fuck about DRM.

>>59031499
but it has ability to block putlocker and youtube from streaming movies and user uploads ;^)

Wow. I also thought it was fake...

Isn't it functionally impossible to encrypt data in such a way that your computer can interpret it, but you can't? I mean even if the decryption algorithm was written into a shader, couldn't you just reverse engineer the shader? Or hell, rip the data straight from the HDMI stream.

A lot of trouble to go to just for a nuisance.

>>59031480

For the moment this bullshit doesn't affect me, but in the long run it's just another step in the wrong direction.

>>59031009
In the same way that nothing can stop any other browser from including DRM and/or malware yes. Mozilla is obligated to back free open source software it's part of their mission they will not force DRM ever. It's as dumb as saying Mozilla is going to force everyone to use flash.

>>59032035
That's that whole reason Mozilla and the other advocates for free software said that DRM should not be allowed. Once you normalize DRM and it becomes ingrained it becomes very difficult to remove later on. Now sites are reliant on DRM so removing it is no longer simple.

>>59030614
>Does this mean that 2017 will be the year Firefox makes a comeback?
No, they'll end up doing it too in a few months. All they do these days is copy whatever Chrome does.

>>59032028
People with the source can obviously build versions of Chromium that do not implement the DRM, but that just means they won't be able to view pages that use it.

It's kinda sad that I have to say this but it would have been better if we just kept flash and not normalized the usage of DRM.

>>59032262
Enabling DRM in Chrome does not normalize the usage of DRM.

>>59032281
The #1 or #2 web browser forcing everyone on it to use DRM is normalizing the usage of it. Microsoft probably has it as well so that means like >80% of the browser market is now backing DRM. Firefox now looks like the odd one out. When someone browses facebook, youtube, netflix on firefox and the site doesn't work they'll wonder why and then a helpful prompt will come up advising them to use chrome or edge "for the best experience."

>>59030614

>>59032336
>>59032356

This so fucking much.

Next you won't be able to download Jewtube videos if you're not willing to screen record or capture from the stream.

>>59030821
This is actually kind of true. I wouldn't doubt a corporation like Google wasting CPU use on purpose to silently inflate the hardware requirements for the market.

This DRM however, it's just another contribution to the development of the botnet and control over the user.
Getting fucked over and over.

>>59032394
They already did it with memory. I mean do you think anyone actually NEEDS 8GB of memory? Not unless you're encoding videos or something.

>>59031227
I didn't think this would actually be real. I was wrong.

>>59031474
Didn't knew about this browser.
Seems promising.

Is it actually usable good, or just a developing meme?

Legit question.

This was deliberate. Google could have stopped DRM plugins dead in their tracks by refusing to allow them in HTML5 in the first place, and again by not adding them in their web browser. They added them knowing that this would ultimately happen but gave users the illusion of choice by allowing users to disable the plugin. The problem is a few users disabling the plugin isn't going to change anything, the plugin is presumed to be enabled for nearly everyone so it's now the norm. People who don't have the plugin or don't use it are the odd ones out.

>>59032455
Well, if you consider a browser that replaces ads with its own and then sends the cash to the guy who started firerox a good browser, then sure.

Haha hahahaha! I switched back from Chromium to Firefox like a week ago!

HOLY SHIT.
You just don't realize what this means: in a few months/years, 90% of all the sites you're regularly use and take for granted now, won't """work""" if you don't have EME enabled in your browser. And they'll be 100% in control of what/when/how/if they'll serve you content.

>>59030614
>Does this mean that 2017 will be the year Firefox makes a comeback?
No. It's done to streamline the experience for users. If you're /g/-tier, sure, but if you're Netflix, tier, tough shit, kiddo.

Something tells me YouTube is finally going to care about anti-ripping, really soon.

>>59032697
I said 'foot in the door' earlier.
This is what it means. As more browsers support this, more websites will use it, causing a gradual pushing factor towards universality.

why does a free browser need drm?

>>59033051
Indeed. Well that is google for you.

Who fucking cares.

>>59033257
DRM is used by corporations with braincells to slow piracy down rather than stopping it completely.
They seem to not completely understand that DRM is a target for bored hackers who don't actually care about piracy at all.
Half the time DRM gets cracked and the crack just gets released and not used for a while.

>>59033257
DRM is just about preventing the end user from being able to use their property how they see fit. It's a way for a company to retain some control over their product.

>>59033304
This. It's user rights erosion in the interest of (((intellectual property))).

DRM, locked bootloaders, etc. are simply tactics to prevent you from owning what you buy.
