   If you are horrified by the Web Environment Integrity proposal by Google (#DRM for ads), stop using Chrome and switch to Firefox and block ads everywhere.

   The only eyeballs left for Google to show ads are the ones protected by ad blockers. That’s the highest growth opportunity they have, and we cannot let them have it.

     @nemo Firefox? Against DRM on the Web? Are you from a timeline where they didn't accept EME?

     @fluffy @nemo And they would say the exact same thing should Google's Web Environment Integrity get adopted by one of Alexa Top 1000.
     
     Mozilla aren't activists or anything like this, they just follow the mainstream.

     @mxu @nemo An activist organisation, choosing another browser will do exactly nothing.
     
     Specially as DRM has never been a software problem, it's a legal problem where unauthorized implementations are illegal.

     @lanodan @nemo I'm genuinely curious: what alternative to Firefox would be worth considering, using?

     @fluffy It's harm reduction to totally surrender to the proprietary overlords and go out of your way to give them the ability to install their proprietary malware that implements digital handcuffs?
     
     Merely because you run proprietary malware in a sandbox doesn't mean you're not running proprietary malware.
