DRM is opt-in. For sure it is kind of in favor of Netflix and Co. But they could just forced people to use Chrome, couldnt they?
If they gave you a warning before it downloaded that would be fine. It also would be better if they had a option to completely disable it. (No popups)
But no, they decided to make it happen in the background with no user interaction. This is just one of my many complaints against Firefox.
It is opt-in when you open a site that needs it.
Not defending DRM here but it does not get loaded until I allow it.
The problem is some sites use DRM for ads.
Never had this. I use a separate profile for Netflix and never had a DRM request outside of Netflix
Spotify and Crunchyroll also require DRM, like almost all commercial video sites.
I live pretty well without them currently :)
