Your choice of browser matters — Google's Web DRM and the open internet

https://grafcube.codeberg.page/blog/2023/08/06/web-drm-api.html

I wrote this blog post to inform the people I know who aren't as tech savvy or otherwise don't put any thought into their choice of browser. Another goal is to help get enough awareness on the topic and make sure it fails.

With Fennec you don't need custom collections, you can just install the official add-ons right away.

I'm talking about third party extensions that the Mozilla store doesn't let you install directly, at least the only way I've figured out how to add them is with the custom collections

I never had a single add-on Fennec wouldn't allow me to install. Mind linking to one? Would like to see what's causing the problem.
