Optionally, DRM plugins

Post by Exagone313 » 2016-01-15, 14:11

Hi,

I'd like to have the ability to download and enable DRM plugins used in FF (including webRTC one).
I don't really agree with them, you know why, I know why you wouldn't agree, but if they are available if major used browser, it could be useful to optionally have them. I don't know if it is possible, about licenses.

Pale Moon will never have DRM or webRTC. And why then use time to work for this- even as optional?
If you need it, why not using firefox portable for it? its the simplest for you.

Because it would use more files - two browser installed.
If it's a security issue, you can use two profiles, so it uses less files than two browsers installed (I don't talk about system security issues).

No, portable means no installation. Only unpack and start. I mean this: http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable
And you can open the portable firefox beside Pale Moon.

For me, installed = present on the disc or in memory. But ok I understand why you disagree. Someone can lock if he wants. I think it has been debated many times.

There is the TemWebRTC plugin for WebRTC.
For DRM protected content there is Silverlight.
