Can you though? It still involves bundling non-free software that is basicly malware (software the harms the user)
Yes, you can disable Firefox's DRM feature, which means DRM code will not run and you won't see DRM-protected content.
That doesn't completely remove it though
Then compile it yourself.
Gentoo~
Though you don't need it. I built my first Firefox on Ubuntu. It just felt better this way.
So I just installed Gentoo and I'm not going back. Holy hell how easy it is to ride that distro, and control flags what gets compiled in.
