I was initially against DRM support, but in hindsight I believe FF would have quickly slipped into irrelevance without it.

Yeah, with standards you have to pick your battles like that. It would have been perceived badly, and anything else Firefox would have wanted to do would have been shot down with that used as the example. A good stake in the ground they made was with manifest v3 and not arbitrarily trying to stop ad blockers, and they had the power to do that, granted less of a standard.

Exactly. DRM is up to the user, whereas Manifest v3... isn't.
