I'm still bitterly sad that Widevine has almost ended up as part of the spec de facto. I always turn off DRM compatibility in FF, and wish the other browsers would give me the choice. For me, that battle has been lost but the war may yet be won. I hope that this move of extension standardisation is actually a net boon for the end user, and not another silent, slippery path like WV and HTML 5 DRM have been.

Not having DRM in-browser would jut mean having to download separate applications for each service, most like.
Good. That would make DRM-infested services less convenient and therefore less popular.
