What do you want to know about the problem?

I wrote the bug report that this thread is about. I think my reasons for arguing there should be a way to disable Widevine are very clear.

To sum it up again:

- Widevine DRM has usability issues (mostly because of HDCP) ad well as stability issues, as outlined in the bug report.

- I am politically opposed to HTML EME and I don't want it enabled in my browser. I would like it better if it was unavailable to begin with.

- From a security perspective, allowing every web site that I allow Javascript on to talk to some dubious blob behind my back is the last thing I want.
