WARNING: [youtube] KheSE_280a0: Some tv client https formats have been skipped as they are DRM protected. The current session may have an experiment that applies DRM to all videos on the tv client. See https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/12563 for more details.
ELI5?
Google is starting to use DRM on all it’s videos so that only the official youtube clients and big browser brands can play them.
It kills the market for all alternative YT players on devices.
If Firefox continues to work, does that mean that it can be used as a workaround, potentially? I guess it depends on how the DRM works, if something like running it in a Firefox tab would work.
And surely blocking Firefox would be a bad move for Google since that would clearly be using monopolistic power in one market to gain advantage in another, right?
