Or is there a way to get Netflix/Amazon to play in Palemoon without using HTML5 or Silverlight?
What about this Baskilisk thing? I have not tried it yet, I will give it a look now.
Definitely depends on your view on blackbox DRM inside an Open Source browser...PCMasterRace wrote:That's too bad.
Wikipedia defines "blackbox DRM" as a non open-source solution. So supporting a DRM solution in an open-source browser does pose a huge problem, not just from a licensing point of view, but from a security view because it would expose the essence of the DRM and make it openly available for exploit.Moonchild wrote:blackbox DRM
Which is exactly what EME is. It downloads and uses closed-source content decryption modules.WilliamK wrote:Wikipedia defines "blackbox DRM" as a non open-source solution.
Actually, it's the other way around. The essence (source) of the DRM is never revealed, and in fact the licensing of those modules prevents anyone from analyzing what it does, including doing so to report exploits. If you find a security vulnerability in a CDM, you had better not report it because you'd get sued for breach of license ("reverse-engineering" etc.). Of course that won't stop malicious elements from finding vulnerabilities and exploiting them.WilliamK wrote:So supporting a DRM solution in an open-source browser does pose a huge problem, not just from a licensing point of view, but from a security view because it would expose the essence of the DRM and make it openly available for exploit.
