Even if firefox complies, I am sure a fork will be made that will disable the in-browser censorship. That is the good thing about FOSS.
Or that might end up as some boolean value in about:config like "SetMoronicBaguetteCensorship" that even a gonk can remove in 2 minutes with a tutorial.
Meanwhile, Google's DRM for the web be like:
But a bunch of browsers already refuse to implement it, so it won't go too well.
A bunch of browsers that (not including Firefox) add up collectively to maybe 1% of users? I'm not sure that's as persuasive as you think it is.
It was indeed three pawns to introduce it. Nice eye for detail.
There is Brave and forked chromium browsers, but yeah hahahahaha.
DO YOU HAVE A SLIP FROM DADDY MACRON ALLOWING YOU TO BYPASS THE CENSHORSHIP WE HAVE FORCED UPON YOU FOR YOUR PROTECTION?
Nope, but FOSS is ungovernable.
Yeah the government would never punish people for doing something the government doesn't want then to do.
What is a fork? Pkease explain like I'm 5.
FOSS stands for "free open source software. Open source means the code for the software publically available for anyone to see. A fork is when someone take a project like firefox and clones it (copying the source code), make any chsnges they want (such as removing the in-browser block list) and re-releasing the app.
Thank you so much.
