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

I do appreciate that Firefox exists so that we have a choice to use something that isn't Chromium and mainly controlled by Google.

But from a business perspective, as Adobe, why would they devote developer time to supporting Firefox? Just to not piss off some nerds that care about that type of shit? What's that like 1% of the population?

Firefox has almost as big a market share as safari and bigger than edge, yet here we are.

They're all Chrome for Christ's sake! Edge? Opera? Brave? They're the same browser! Doesn't anybody notice this? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!

Safari is the default browser for Apple which Adobe likes and while most people don't use Edge it's chromium at the end of the day.

Diehard Firefox user but calling out those examples ignores the facts at the end of the day.
