+<p><strong>Using Firefox or any other browser, isn't going to do anything against "Web Environment Integrity"</strong></p>
+
+<p>Let's say <strong>again</strong> what DRM and other broken-by-design copyright protections mechanisms under the DMCA means:
+ <li>Circumventing the DRM is illegal</li>
+ <li>Typically if you're not an authorized vendor, you cannot legally implement the DRM</li>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ So for the web, this effectively means that alternative browsers will either be incompatible with a lot more websites, or be effectivelly part of the grey/black market.<br />
+ The only way forward is to go against Google in an anti-trust lawsuit, after all trying to render other implementations illegal probably couldn't be more anti-competitive.
+ Or, to reform laws like the DMCA to defang Google's "Web Environment Integrity", for example with adding an exception for interoperability.
