Firefox is more restrictive than Chromium because you have to rename it and rip out all the artwork since the Mozilla Corporation won't allow you to use the Firefox name. With Chromium, you can modify it all you want (like turning off or disabling the Google features) and still use the

EME being in the standard does not make it good. Preventing somebody from using the video as she wishes (e.g., forcing her to watch ads, preventing her from saving the downloaded file, imposing a limit on the number of times the video is watched, etc.) clearly goes against freedom 0, the
