DRM Is Coming To Firefox

[PoolCleaningRobot]

A year or two ago my girlfriend needed me to download some youtube video's for her, she uses Chrome so I downloaded an extension an no problem. A few months ago same request, as she told me the download plugin wasn't working. I searched for a new one and... absolutely nothing, they were all completely gone. Went back to my PC with Firefox, and no problem. Found a bunch of extensions, tried one out, and downloaded what she needed without any problems.

So does this have something to do with the DRM mentioned in the article?

No. That's because Google's terms of service do not allow plug-ins to rip YouTube videos on their own browser. Google had probably just decided to remove all those plug-ins from their store (but I think they can be downloaded and installed manually). But other browsers like Firefox and Opera don't have any restrictions so the plug-ins stayed. Since the new Opera is based on Chrome, the old YouTube ripping plug-ins are available for it
