It's small, but here's a real actionable item that you can do to help:
Put a gentle "Use Firefox" (or any other non-Chromium-based browser) message on your website. It doesn't have to be in-your-face, just something small. I've taken my own advice and added it to my own website: https://geeklaunch.io/ (Only appears in Chromium-based browsers.)
We can slowly turn the tide, little by little.
Copy and paste:
(I also posted this on the HN discussion.)
Your browser supports Web-DRM. Some features might not be available.
This website does not support browsers that support web-drm
Turn it against them.

I have a banner on mine as well that I did a couple weeks ago: https://toast.al
I’m mad tho since it has false positives with Mulch / Bromite on Android. I wasn’t able to find something right away to detect it, but the DRM stuff would probably work.
