> Firefox simply doesn't have the market share to force anyone to develop for them. Even worse, Google has every incentive to not do it and instead pop up a banner "hey, looks like your browser doesn't support YT, use Chrome". People who argue that Mozilla was wrong to accept the DRM blob never have a good answer for this and usually then end in "people would have seen that Mozilla is right and boycotted YT" or "who cares if Mozilla has only 1% market share, it's far more important to never make any compromise".
It wasn’t just Google: Microsoft and Apple also sold both DRM systems and content, and all three loved the idea of getting rid of Adobe. I never could get anyone to offer a credible theory for how Mozilla could fight those odds.
