No DRM Protection means no HD, High bit rate streaming

Is that actually a thing? Firefox has a drm button toggle and prime worked fine last time I used it.

I tried two weeks ago. Netflix and Disney+ resort to 720p. Amazon Prime was worse. The sound was soo bad. edit: grammar

Weird that they'd actively block higher resolutions on linux, it certainly doesn't stop their shit from getting pirated in windows.

I tried Netflix in Firefox on Windows 10 and I could only stream in 720p. Maybe it's an incentive to install their dedicated apps or something.
