Not sure because it downloads Widevine by default.



Now I'm not sure what your argument is. When the problem is "they refuse to issue Widevine licenses", it doesn't really matter that a browser as huge as Firefox managed to get one.

It wasn't "if you want to use Linux", it was "if you want to make a browser".

Also the Widevine authorized for Linux is only 720p on Netflix.


The point is you don't need to worry about a browser playing DRM because most platforms have native apps for the only uses a browser needs DRM for...


Okay, but I'm not sure how well I can reconcile "you don't need it in the browser at all" and "it was considered important to force it into a browser standard".
