Yeah, Kiwi supports all extensions from the Chrome Web Store – it has full desktop Chromium extension support. – In Firefox, you can disable DRM-protected content under about:preferences#general and you should also disable the “Primetime” and / or “Widevine” plugins under about:addons, by setting them to “Never activate”… There are also unbranded builds of FF which ship without the DRM modules I’m currently running Bromite on Android, are there any benefits of having Kiwi too? – In Brave, the Widevine DRM module can be disabled under brave://settings/extensions (Vivaldi has the same setting in the “Webpages” section of its preferences, just so you know) There are dedicated apps for most streaming services, use those instead of introducing a blackbox into your browser which can be abused for privacy breaches! If you use streaming services outside of your browser, disable DRM: My advice to people would be NOT to use commercial streaming services in their web browsers, if they can help it. Reddit doesn’t even need DRM, it just gets abused for privacy violations there. The DRM module also causes privacy issues, e.g. This guy speaks the truth, though it’s not limited to Mozilla: I don’t understand how more useful implementations like the one proposed by the Fraunhofer Institute were completely ignored:
Please understand that a DRM module could be completely open source – all that needs are private decryption keys! A closed source model to be shipped with all major browsers was agreed upon by Google, Apple, and Mozilla years ago – doesn’t mean it’s good or should be so. I understand the necessity to support it in general as users expect commercial streaming services to work in their browsers, but the module should really be open source as to make its inner workings transparent. That is not only the case in Firefox, but also in other browsers like Brave. The DRM module is a closed source component that is quietly being shipped even with open source browsers. The addition of DRM-media playback closes a gap between Firefox and other browsers such as Google Chrome users who don't want it can set its preference to block to do so.
