wtf i hate chrome now

so sick, hdcp isn't enough

>threats enable higher surveillance measure
>threats are legitimate
>one size fits all

>more drm shit that fucks over regular users and does nothing against piracy

business as usual.

Chromium doesn't have this problem.

Welp, time to browser-switcheroo

I never disabled it, what does it even do? does it affect only streams?

Maybe they just like wasting CPU cycles.

...and on the current version the disable checkbox is already gone

>Does this mean that 2017 will be the year Firefox makes a comeback?
>implying normies care about freedom and privacy
Watching shitty shows is more important...
It wouldn't surprise me if such thing comes to firefox in the upcoming months.
The firefox crew keeps fucking things up when it comes to take major decisions.
Once servo is fully implemented in firefox it would be the time to make a good fully FLOSS fork of firefox and ditch all the fuckeries they did in the past years.

...

some pay-for-stream sites like kekflix require you to use that addon to play their videos. It decodes the video, enables HDCP etc.

can someone tell me where i can find exhenti extention and 4chanx for firefox?

so, it doesn't affect even 0.5% of pirates then?
call me when they disable ability to click magnet links

just fucking create an account

GOD DAMMIT I QUIT

Of course Firefox has EME support, but they let their users enable it or disable it according to their needs or preferences.
They even went as far as providing special EME-Free builds for people who don't like proprietary components on their devices.

:eyerolling:

Nothing can stop them if they want to include drm-management as a core feature and not as a plugin. They can stop providing that version at any time, we can't do anything about that but be prepared to switch to a more open version ie a independant fork.

>Just create an account before the cutoff
EZ

See this: Disable it if you don't need it, or install the EME-free version:

THIS IS TOO HARD I JUST WANNA SHITPOST

That's just slippery slope bullshit. The fact is there is no plan to provide EME support beyond a third party plugin.

Why do you believe that EME will stop the shitposting?

yet

Slippery slope bullshit.

u mad

...

baka desu senpai

by the way that frog boiling thing is bullshit as well

...

Will Firefox allow me to serf my favorite sites even if i'm a white heterosexual man?
>no
there you go. Fuck Firefox.

In Chrome 58 you can't even access the Plugins page.

>HDCP
high definition cheese pizza?

is this likely to affect chromium? I want to know if I should care

Chrome won't either.

>not recording your screen
>1982

I just googled this and it's real. What in the living fuck?

The fuck is this bullshit? Everyone knows Newton was black.

>having no quality standards

this. chromium won't be affected by this as long as you actually understand the source code and use the damn thing for what it's supposed to be used for

if you just download it and compile it for Sup Forums hipster points, then most likely, yes. if you don't have the time to go through the source and take out all the botnet + drm shit, then definitely. but if you don't do that, you shouldn't be using chromium

>inb4 where's the botnet shit

i parsed literally every fucking bit of my openbsd to take out the nsa backdoors, and it took me a little under a year. my chromium is solid as shit. and although i contribute language libraries, i'll be fucked up my little butthole before i share any of that shit with a bunch of casuals after all the fucking work i put into it. enjoy your botnets and backdoors, casuals

i'm sick of this commie crap

wow. had to search it for myself just to make sure, but... holy fuck.

>he spent a year removing software backdoors using his backdoored processor

wow. had to search it for myself just to make sure, but... holy fuck. was there some kind of sjw reddit/tumblr/whatever push to make this happen? seems more likely than google straight up doing this but at this point, i don't really know. whatever's going on rn has been pushing me as far right as fucking possible over the past year, and before that i was a post-left green anarchist. ugh.

whatever, enjoy having your sweet, damp little pink butthole licked by a big, hairy muscular NSA agent with a slightly graying beard and hard nipples, while he plays with your balls like tibetan prayer orbs and just, like, sticking his pinky in all of your private information until you get all of your tracking information all over his burly, masculine, well-defined, hairy bear chest you fucking pleb faggot. at least i know how to code

initially I was only half-joking about the autism but dude

Not really. You have to be extremely retarded if you think anyone outside of Sup Forums cares about this.

oh i thought you were coming on to me :( this is why i'm about to go double wizard in a few years

but why would anyone on Sup Forums care? i somehow don't see the average Sup Forumseezer streaming DRM content on legit streaming sites in the first place, let alone whining about the fact DRM is being enforced.

Widevine DRM only enables you to playback EME videos on services such as Netflix, it's the least of your worries when you're using Chrome Botnet

This. If you're using Chrome it's stupid to complain about DRM.

So what kind of content is blocked with this DRM?
Like, what websites does it protect against?
Does it do something similar to content matching on YouTube, where similar frames automatically get flagged?

>implying anyone cares
to normies freedom is paying to watch dear white people

>watching videos in your browser
what is this, 2008?

It's the foot in the door, idiot.

then again, it could be a case of Sup Forums hissing at normies who don't realise how their freedoms are being violated

>not using this

>EME enabled for everything
>websites encrypted
>uBlock, Adblock Plus, NoScript et al. can't do shit anymore

The Golden Age of Advertisement and User Profiling is ahead of us.

Everything's a foot in the door according to paranoid Sup Forums.

DRM doesn't actually have the ability to do that.

You can simply not use it at all! Nobody's forcing you to visit websites that use EME.

exactly my point, friendo. seems to me the only people who give a fuck about EME content don't give a single fuck about DRM.

but it has ability to block putlocker and youtube from streaming movies and user uploads ;^)

user, serfdom is illegal.

Currently watching Netflix in Chrome on Debian. I don't know why anyone could give a shit when Chromium exists.

EME on youtube when?

Pretty sure this is capitalist crap.

Wow. I also thought it was fake...

Isn't it functionally impossible to encrypt data in such a way that your computer can interpret it, but you can't? I mean even if the decryption algorithm was written into a shader, couldn't you just reverse engineer the shader? Or hell, rip the data straight from the HDMI stream.

A lot of trouble to go to just for a nuisance.

It's the 'people' keyword. You'd only ever use it in combination with 'black', since white is the default for europeans.

What about chromium?
Because i doubt this shit will even bother chrome users.

This is what bothers me.
For the moment this bullshit doesn't affect me, but in the long run it's just another step in the wrong direction.

In the same way that nothing can stop any other browser from including DRM and/or malware yes. Mozilla is obligated to back free open source software it's part of their mission they will not force DRM ever. It's as dumb as saying Mozilla is going to force everyone to use flash.

That's that whole reason Mozilla and the other advocates for free software said that DRM should not be allowed. Once you normalize DRM and it becomes ingrained it becomes very difficult to remove later on. Now sites are reliant on DRM so removing it is no longer simple.

>Does this mean that 2017 will be the year Firefox makes a comeback?
No, they'll end up doing it too in a few months. All they do these days is copy whatever Chrome does.

People with the source can obviously build versions of Chromium that do not implement the DRM, but that just means they won't be able to view pages that use it.

It's kinda sad that I have to say this but it would have been better if we just kept flash and not normalized the usage of DRM.

Enabling DRM in Chrome does not normalize the usage of DRM.

The #1 or #2 web browser forcing everyone on it to use DRM is normalizing the usage of it. Microsoft probably has it as well so that means like >80% of the browser market is now backing DRM. Firefox now looks like the odd one out. When someone browses facebook, youtube, netflix on firefox and the site doesn't work they'll wonder why and then a helpful prompt will come up advising them to use chrome or edge "for the best experience."

I'm not autistic so I don't mind

t. opera user

Not instantly, but this action shows Google's intentions for the future of the Internet: DRM-enabled (and conditioned) content. Scary stuff, if you ask me.

This so fucking much.

Next you won't be able to download Jewtube videos if you're not willing to screen record or capture from the stream.

This is actually kind of true. I wouldn't doubt a corporation like Google wasting CPU use on purpose to silently inflate the hardware requirements for the market.

This DRM however, it's just another contribution to the development of the botnet and control over the user.
Getting fucked over and over.

They already did it with memory. I mean do you think anyone actually NEEDS 8GB of memory? Not unless you're encoding videos or something.

I didn't think this would actually be real. I was wrong.

Didn't knew about this browser.
Seems promising.

Is it actually usable good, or just a developing meme?

Legit question.

This was deliberate. Google could have stopped DRM plugins dead in their tracks by refusing to allow them in HTML5 in the first place, and again by not adding them in their web browser. They added them knowing that this would ultimately happen but gave users the illusion of choice by allowing users to disable the plugin. The problem is a few users disabling the plugin isn't going to change anything, the plugin is presumed to be enabled for nearly everyone so it's now the norm. People who don't have the plugin or don't use it are the odd ones out.

Well, if you consider a browser that replaces ads with its own and then sends the cash to the guy who started firerox a good browser, then sure.

Haha hahahaha! I switched back from Chromium to Firefox like a week ago!

HOLY SHIT.
You just don't realize what this means: in a few months/years, 90% of all the sites you're regularly use and take for granted now, won't """work""" if you don't have EME enabled in your browser. And they'll be 100% in control of what/when/how/if they'll serve you content.
Google showing their true colors once more.

then i guess i'll just be using the web 90% less than i am right now

>Does this mean that 2017 will be the year Firefox makes a comeback?
No. It's done to streamline the experience for users. If you're Sup Forums-tier, sure, but if you're Netflix, tier, tough shit, kiddo.

Something tells me YouTube is finally going to care about anti-ripping, really soon.

I said 'foot in the door' earlier.
This is what it means. As more browsers support this, more websites will use it, causing a gradual pushing factor towards universality.

why does a free browser need drm?

Indeed. Well that is google for you.

"don't be evil" my ass

DRM was a mistake, note the tone of the headline vs what is actually happening.

why does anybody even bother with DRM anymore now that the most advanced DRM to ever exist has already been completely wrecked like so many before it

Who fucking cares.

DRM is used by corporations with braincells to slow piracy down rather than stopping it completely.
They seem to not completely understand that DRM is a target for bored hackers who don't actually care about piracy at all.
Half the time DRM gets cracked and the crack just gets released and not used for a while.
