Google Widevine Content #155

Open ajay-gh opened 5 years ago

ajay-gh commented 5 years ago

Settings recommended: media.eme.enabled = false and media.gmp-widevinecdm.enabled = false

Title: Disable Google Widevine Extension Description: For improved privacy disable playback of DRM-controlled HTML5 content, which, if enabled, automatically downloads the Widevine Content Decryption Module provided by Google Inc. Also disable the Widevine Content Decryption Module provided by Google Inc., used for the playback of DRM-controlled HTML5 content. Note: DRM-controlled content that requires the Adobe Flash or Microsoft Silverlight NPAPI plugins will still play, if installed and enabled in Firefox.

See https://www.privacytools.io/ for more details.

(remark to developer: it is unclear to me whether these switches aren't needed when HTML5 in general is disabled)

I thought we had this ... but obviously not.

It is not urgently needed in the generator, as there is an obvious option in the settings dialog. But I am not sure, if a Firefox with default settings downloads code (e.g. the widevine CDM) without any user interactive (which would be a reason to have it in the generator).
