Firefox 38 Arrives With DRM Required To Watch Netflix

Posted by timothy on Tuesday May 12, 2015 @05:08AM from the chinese-finger-trap dept.

An anonymous reader writes with this excerpt from VentureBeat: Mozilla today launched Firefox 38 for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android. Notable additions to the browser include Digital Rights Management (DRM) tech for playing protected content in the HTML5 video tag on Windows, Ruby annotation support, and improved user interfaces on Android. Firefox 38 for the desktop is available for download now on Firefox.com, and all existing users should be able to upgrade to it automatically. As always, the Android version is trickling out slowly on Google Play. Note that there is a separate download for Firefox 38 without the DRM support. Our anonymous reader adds links to the release notes for desktop and Android.

We'll die off??? Sorry, you are a tiny minority who will continue to be ignored by the ones making the rules. Why? Because your uncompromising, unrealistic, and annoying to be around.

Sorry, teleporters just kill you and then make a copy. A perfect, soul-less copy.

Oh my GOD that is HILARIOUS. THANK YOU for adding this joke, which I've NEVER HEARD BEFORE, and REALLY IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF THIS THREAD.
I'm sorry, I made a typo above. I meant: SHUT THE FUCK UP FAGGOT.

Don't want it, don't use it
Except that's not really a choice when DRM is involved, is it? The entire point of DRM is to take that choice away from you.
