Your choice of browser matters — Google's Web DRM and the open internet

https://grafcube.codeberg.page/blog/2023/08/06/web-drm-api.html

I wrote this blog post to inform the people I know who aren't as tech savvy or otherwise don't put any thought into their choice of browser. Another goal is to help get enough awareness on the topic and make sure it fails.

The WebView on Android at least is Chromium based though, but I agree its probably best to make that distinction.

@Skimmer I guess, there are still some differences to a normal chromium based browser if a browser operates with the systems webview Integration, which u can also change.
