Firefox for Android has learned to play DRM-protected content – videos from Netflix and other services can now be watched in the browser
Firefox company Mozilla has released an update for Android devices with build number 85.1.1. It includes an important innovation – support for DRM content. The GSMArena portal reports about this.
DRM (Digital Rights Management) is a method of digital copyright management. In essence, it is simply an algorithm by which authors of the content, such as films and TV series, restrict illegal copying of materials. The browser now supports the playback of licensed content from sites such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu via Google’s Widevine technology. Before playing, the browser will ask for permission to play and will remember your choice. The only drawback is that Firefox on Android can support playback at a maximum resolution of 720p, values above are not supported.
In addition, Firefox 85.1.1 for Android provides the ability to install extensions, and also contains the latest security patches and various fixes.
