I held off on Windows 10 for as long as I could until my job required it. Now this nonsense. I hope this isn't the start of them joining on the web DRM bandwagon.

This is the main issue with that web DRM "security" shit that Google is trying to push. They have such a great market share now that big websites can now afford to put a check "only for Chrome" losing a very small percentage of users

Not that the DRM thing isn't going to fuel this behaviour but this is already possible with the current browser specs. The DRM shit will just make it worse.

This very small percentage of users anyway would be privy to alternative to Adobe's stack ?

Concern will perhaps be mainly for getting new users on FF/other browsers from Chromium.
