A very misleading title. But the content is nothing to get upset about. Reasonable people can easily disagree:

* Google didn't can can't block a new web browser from working. * OP is making an _opensource_ browser * OP's browser is specifically made for showing videos in some kind of P2P architecture. * OP is upset because he can't play some other peoples' videos in his new browser.

The R in DRM, standing for Rights is relevant: this isn't your content, OP. Thousands of creatives, artists, and investors put time, sweat and blood into these. They've chosen DRM as the way to get paid. You have no right to their content. If you don't like DRM then vote with your feet - watch others' content, and find another way to compensate them.
