I cancelled my subscription since I received a notification that my browser is not supported. Perhaps I should have mentioned my issues with DRM as well, but this may have gone too far. One message is clear, too many messages are noise.
I wish Firefox didn’t support DRM of any kind.
DRM is a mistake and shouldn’t be considered a “web standard”
I agree DRM sucks, but if Firefox didn’t support it, even more people would flock to Chrome. You can disable it though.
Can you though? It still involves bundling non-free software that is basicly malware (software the harms the user)
Yes, you can disable Firefox’s DRM feature, which means DRM code will not run and you won’t see DRM-protected content.
That doesn’t completely remove it though
Yes, disabling it doesn’t remove it, but you can also remove it entirely if you want. Here are Mozilla’s instructions (it’s pretty easy). And here’s Mozilla’s post about implementing it, which also links to how to remove it. They supported completely opting out from day one, including opting out before Firefox has a chance to download the proprietary DRM code.
I doubt that they read those

GNU/Linux, cringe. Just say Linux, most tools that come with distros are not even GNU nowadays
Either Linux or GNU/Linux is OK to me. It’s the practice that makes the difference. While I mostly use Debian, which defines itself as GNU/Linux and I appreciate every aspect of it, I recognise that Arch Linux (which drops the GNU) has a much healthier approach to free software than Red Hat (recently at least), which defines itself as GNU/Linux but adds clauses to RHEL which are against the spirit of free software. I prefer using GNU/Linux because, as a statement, respects things that are important to me. Of course, I am totally cool with other people using any term they feel more comfortable with.
👏👏👏
