    @GreatEmerald, so does Otter Browser. ;-)
    But I was thinking about default one, it was suggested that it should be more similar to UA used by Safari (it's WebKit by default, after all).

      That's all right. If Netflix (and others) will play ball with Hollywood, Hollywood won't change.

      The right attitude would be to refuse to distribute such locked down content. And see if Hollywood can keep making as much money then.
      Someone will always be ready to distribute as long as the customers are there. If you want to make a change, lobby everyone to boycott movies made in Hollywood

            This follows the common theme of Open Source enthusiasts of attacking the middle man. There are huge studios producing the content who control the copyright of the content you want to watch DRM free on Netflix. So instead of directing your anger at them, you direct it at Netflix while they *try* to bring the content to your preferred platform? Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

            Then people wonder why these companies aren't interested in reaching out to the Open Source community with open arms. Also see any thread having to do with AMD's efforts to open up their drivers, it's just sad and self defeating.
            At least in my country most content available on Netfilx is "Netflix Original Production", so they are no longer a middle-man. If their own content was available as 4K with widevine (or better yet, no DRM at all) and only content from other producers be limited to 720p then yes, directing your anger at them would be wrong. But it's not the case, Netflix is as evil as the rest of Hollywood.
