Expected, but meaningless if we can't drive people towards Firefox and away from Chromium products. That's something of a responsibility we all have, especially those of us invested in the safety and security (collectively, trust) of the web.

I haven't seen anything yet on whether Brave will support it, though if I'm understanding correctly, they won't have a choice since they're using Chromium. Hopefully I'm misinformed.

The end result is that DRM and banking sites will just tell you to use chrome to continue. And users will keep migrating to chrome until Mozilla is forced to implement it.

But this is exactly the problem. If Chrome had only 25% market share they wouldn't feel that they could force users to use Chrome. But if Chrome and Safari make up 80% of the browser market they feel like they can.

The solution is diversity and using browsers that respect users. Chrome only has the power to push this API because they own most of the market.
