So what if Netflix doesn't work?? That is the choice of Netflix. Big content will always want more control. Firefox will never be able to keep up. They will just do a mediocre job of working against their users.

Microsoft and Real Player pushed hard for an integrated ActiveX based DRM ecosystem over a decade ago. I'm so glad that Mozilla flatly refused to entertain such idiocy. I sure wish that Mozilla still existed.

Mozilla is now just a "pick me" [1] organization to big content. They should own being a browser that caters to users, not platforms. Because they will end up with nothing.

The problem is, back then most people on the Internet were techies. They knew their shit.

Today? Guess who Grandma's gonna call with "my Netflix isn't working"? And she won't care why, all she cares about is Netflix.
