GMT from United States)I will continue to have multiple browsers installed. My go- to browsers will be those that respect my rights, however, if I really need some content, I will fire up a non- free browser. If the site feels a bit creepy, then in private mode, and sometimes even in a VM in private mode. How can I retrieve a list of the SSL/TLS cipher suites a particular website offers?I've tried openssl, but if you examine the output: $ echo -n | openssl s_client.Whether you're a current Pi owner who wants to learn more or a potential owner of this credit-card size device, this isn't a guide you want to miss.Cinnamon is a desktop environment based on GNOME 3.

Rev_Don on 2. 01. GMT from United States)I'll use whatever browser allows me to view/play the content I want. Browsers and DRM (by edcoolio on 2. GMT from United States)I agree completely @1, 2. I have multiple browsers. I prefer private, open browsers if give a choice. If I must have access to DRM restricted content, then I am left with no choice. Like most, I don't like it, but if you wish to consume DRM restricted content - then there is really no choice. Web Browsers and DRM (by historyb on 2. GMT from United States)I must agree with the others I use whatever browser will let me watch my content. Non- free module in browser (by Andy Figueroa on 2. GMT from United States)Not enough choices. I don't want my browser to have to include non- free modules in order to be considered compliant. Big mistake going on here. Non- free web browser (by Charlie on 2. GMT from Hong Kong)I am currently using Vivaldi as my main browser, though I have multiple browsers in my system. Strictly speaking, Vivaldi do not use any OSI permitted license for their browser, but the team takes a very open approach for people viewing their code and submitting patches. In recent years I've become a more pragmatic free software supporter, it is good to hear that a software is free (as in freedom), but I think there is also some good non- free software. At some point they can and should be co- existed for users to make a choice. GMT from United States)by the end of last week's comments (including a reply from Jesse), I thought we were all "up to speed" as to the status quo. DRM, EME, CDM. Firefox skirts the issue by providing an inbuilt component which supports (Widevine, etc) proprietary Content Decryption Modules.. Clear. Key module. Doing so "meets the W3. C spec", and avoids shipping proprietary binary blobs. Upon first time use browses to a page where Widevine decryption module would be required to playback protected content, a popup (doorhanger) notification alerts the user and asks permission to install Widevine (or cancel). I expect I will no- time- soon be willing to authorize installation of a proprietary decryption module ~~ but never say never, eh? If I'm ever forced to do so (by an online banking site, for instance?) I expect it will be a throwaway browser, spun up for one- time- use, within sandbox or ephemeral VM. Do you use flash? If so, it's likely you'll cave, you'll install Widevine or equivalent, first time its absence interferes with accessing your pr. Flash). 8 • No dilemma. Babalembi Mofalatindasi on 2. GMT from United States)It's simple and I see no dilemma. If you want to consume protected content then you make your pact with the devil. If you resist you remain free and seek out better and free content. DRM Web browsers (by James B on 2. GMT from Australia)I'm with the EEF. One option will hasn't been voiced is the getting together of the major and minors browser producers and get them to refuse and set their own standard. If the standards agency is going off the rails, get a new agency! And yes I know, easier said than done, however, its still possible. Microsoft for years influenced the standards, now perhaps, a group of companies?? Live free and prosper : )1. GMT from United States)if w. Nobody understands the W3. C anymore (by mark on 2. GMT from Austria)I already do not use DRM and would not use browsers who attack me with DRM. But the more interesting question is - why can the W3. C dictate onto mankindnon- free enslavements such as the DRM? Browsers and DRM (by Mohamed on 2. GMT from Algeria)I use the fine old Opera Classic + Pale. Moon for sites tha opera can't handle : )1. Browsers (by LK on 2. GMT from Finland)Free Software browsers only. I went so far that I wrote my own (Fifth) when none of the existing options suited me. Possible to have everything, just depends on what you trust (by Farflung on 2. GMT from Canada)To reader above who compared Wine- shackling a browser to using Flash. I don't feel this is the same; I do allow controlled viewing of video content on my web browser, but I get to decide what's happening, not my browser And I don't use Wine or Widevine except on one device that exists solely for that purpose. Most people with security and testing in mind use different browsers for different things. I use Chrome on a Mac solely to watch youtube or movies on Netflix with a person. I don't use it for for any other purpose, while Google's constantly burbling background process is scrutinized. Open source is necessary and my first choice, but Chrome is still by far the most "secure" browser out of the box for most types of users, Opera is at the bottom of the list in terms of security for any user. Firefox, the choice of Tor and the Swowden guy, will be mine for almost all net use. You just fine tune noscript and a few other plugins to have pretty fantastic control over script injections and poisoning, control of what flash and . I would feel much worse if Firefox came mounted with no choices to disable Web. RTC and DRM. 1. 5 • fifth browser (by nano- me on 2. GMT from United Kingdom)@1. I have been searching for alternative browsers, and am interested in the ideas behind Fifth [your sourceforge and github web sites]. Sadly, in the past, my attempts to build it from source failedl when I try to satisfy the libraries. I will have another go. About browser (by César on 2. GMT from Chile)Hi! I use Opera, why?, because works in the pages i visited without any trouble. Saludos,1. 7 • Killing the internet further with DRM (by cykodrone on 2. GMT from Canada)TLDR version: I'm not weakening my surfing privacy and security (block settings and security/privacy add- ons) just to bow to a few greedy internet media oligarchs, they just won't get my traffic or business anymore. I dumped Firefox for Pale Moon long ago because Mozilla went over to the dark- side with built in (tracking) spyware. I also have ad and script blockers, I whitelist some sites like this one for support through traffic reasons. I have also dumped all the major social media platforms for the same or similar reasons, I refuse to be part of the digital cattle, their lives (surfing habits, demographic and personal info) auctioned off and sold in milliseconds. I am tired of having my privacy violated, FB has been busted numerous times changing privacy features and settings without notifying users, and actually putting some of them in danger. The other giant (that orange person's megaphone) will harass you for your cell phone number with relentless and unjustified account suspensions (aka as a brute force phishing attack, your cell number is the ransom). Same goes for anything Goggle or the companies they swallowed up (like u- tube) over the years, their scripts don't need to be snooping what I'm looking at on totally unrelated sites. The interwebz aint what they used to be, huge corporations have commercialized it to death (with skeezy tactics), the more they muddy the waters, the less I go in them, it's that simple, I've wasted too much of my life on the internet anyway. Web browsers and non- free DRM (by Fernando Santucci on 2. GMT from Brazil)Historically Mozilla deeply respects W3. C, ISO and ECMA standards in its Firefox browser. However, I think if they are forced to implement a non- open source by an industry maneuver, then an alternative fork will emerge from her source code without this implementation and I believe it has instant adherence because its audience is captive due to respect for privacy and open standards. Browsers (by John on 2. GMT from United States)Hi all,"Information wants to be free!"I use a neutered version of Dillo as my go to browser. Fast. Works. I am typing this into a Dillo window. Just tried to get on a site that wanted a browser with javascript.. I didn't bother with it. Most news sites are MUCH easier to read with Dillo. John. 20 • DRM (by Mike on 2. GMT from Canada)@1. Closed source DRM can do anything including extracting our IP addresses (for those who surf with anonymising services), machine names, and whatever else they want to do to include our browsing in their databases.
