I cancelled my subscription since I received a notification that my browser is not supported. Perhaps I should have mentioned my issues with DRM as well, but this may have gone too far. One message is clear, too many messages are noise.
I doubt that they read those
Let them lose 3% of their business if Linux only
What is ff market share?
Similar but a bit over 5% if targeting desktop https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share
They’ll lose maybe a dozen people on Linux/Firefox and they know it. Not even a rounding error since chromium is near monopoly status
I wish Firefox didn’t support DRM of any kind.
DRM is a mistake and shouldn’t be considered a “web standard”
I agree DRM sucks, but if Firefox didn’t support it, even more people would flock to Chrome. You can disable it though.
Can you though? It still involves bundling non-free software that is basicly malware (software the harms the user)
Yes, you can disable Firefox’s DRM feature, which means DRM code will not run and you won’t see DRM-protected content.
I agree but admit that I share some responsibility as DRM is optional and I choose to enable it for some sites. Quite often, when a site is less essential to me (or its DRM features) I decline them. The more we decline them, the more probable that there will be free alternatives of some services.
GNU/Linux, cringe. Just say Linux, most tools that come with distros are not even GNU nowadays
Either Linux or GNU/Linux is OK to me. It’s the practice that makes the difference. While I mostly use Debian, which defines itself as GNU/Linux and I appreciate every aspect of it, I recognise that Arch Linux (which drops the GNU) has a much healthier approach to free software than Red Hat (recently at least), which defines itself as GNU/Linux but adds clauses to RHEL which are against the spirit of free software. I prefer using GNU/Linux because, as a statement, respects things that are important to me. Of course, I am totally cool with other people using any term they feel more comfortable with.
