    “Google controls 3/4 of the web, so not only am I going to roll over and take it, but I’m going to lube myself up for their convenience.”

      Moving to firefox would still be rolling over and taking it though. If they don’t comply, you just don’t have permission to view the web page. It’s not like they’re going to go around that in any way.

      Unless you find an alternative to the website itself you’re out of options.

      The only ways of “not taking it” that I would see are either you find a way to ignore the DRM and view the site anyway, or you make the site drop the implementation, neither of which switching to Firefox does.

        Or just don’t visit websites that have DRM. Any website willing to work with Google on this DRM thing is a website I have zero desire to ever visit.

          That kindof argument is just naïve bordering obnoxious. It’s like an ostrich putting their head into the ground.

          It’s going to spread, more sites will use that DRM, and even if you decide you can keep off of them on principle, most people won’t.

          If it were remotely going to end up that way we wouldn’t have chrome being able to do this to begin with

          You aren’t providing reasonable criticism to the argument. It’s completely unrealistic and ignoring how we got here to begin with.

          He’s right to respond emotional when you just make a completely unrealistic argument.
