I cancelled my subscription since I received a notification that my browser is not supported. Perhaps I should have mentioned my issues with DRM as well, but this may have gone too far. One message is clear, too many messages are noise.

    I wish Firefox didn’t support DRM of any kind.

    DRM is a mistake and shouldn’t be considered a “web standard”

      I agree DRM sucks, but if Firefox didn’t support it, even more people would flock to Chrome. You can disable it though.

      I agree but admit that I share some responsibility as DRM is optional and I choose to enable it for some sites. Quite often, when a site is less essential to me (or its DRM features) I decline them. The more we decline them, the more probable that there will be free alternatives of some services.

    There are hundreds of us! HUNDREDS!

    jk. As a current and longtime FF user I feel your pain.

      I should probably do this kind of thing more often, but usually I just avoid bad services.

      The truth is that it mostly worked other than some issues with full screen but firefox has better ways around it. I really wanted to make the statement since I saw the notification that encouraged me to switch to another browser. Firefox is fully compliant and so should be their service. And should be DRM-free but that will be another discussion in the future.

      To be fair, I shouldn’t have to hack my Client signature to recieve a paid service.

        I’m guessing it’s completely compatible, I’ve had sites that show that and they’ve always worked fine after a useragent change. I have no idea why they’d say it doesn’t work when I probably does, but I guess that’s what you get when google rules everything

      It’s a streaming service which’s main purpose is to stream football matches I believe. It’s quite popular in my country.

    GNU/Linux, cringe. Just say Linux, most tools that come with distros are not even GNU nowadays

      Either Linux or GNU/Linux is OK to me. It’s the practice that makes the difference. While I mostly use Debian, which defines itself as GNU/Linux and I appreciate every aspect of it, I recognise that Arch Linux (which drops the GNU) has a much healthier approach to free software than Red Hat (recently at least), which defines itself as GNU/Linux but adds clauses to RHEL which are against the spirit of free software. I prefer using GNU/Linux because, as a statement, respects things that are important to me. Of course, I am totally cool with other people using any term they feel more comfortable with.
