I held off on Windows 10 for as long as I could until Adobe, and therefore my job, required it. Now this nonsense. I hope this isn’t the start of them joining on the web DRM bandwagon.

      Google forcing people to use its browser or pushing companies to develop exclusively for its browsers has broad antitrust implications, especially if they are using their ad clout to push wider adoption.

        It’s far more likely that Adobe is just being lazy/cheap in not supporting a browser with a small market share.

          Yeah, to be clear, I think Google should be the target of multiple antitrust actions. This is just a symptom.

          It’s because firefox wont support the drm protocol that chromium/webkit will be pushing

            No it’s not?

            Many websites are only ever tested to work on Chrome because companies don’t care about catering to the smaller userbases of the other browsers.

        What does Google have to do with Adobe not supporting one specific browser not made by either company?
