Add code to your site to prompt browsers using "Web Environment Integrity", to use Firefox instead

Since it seems #Google has decided to uni-laterally force through their new anti-#adblock #DRM euphemistically named "Web environment integrity", I decided to add a little bit of code to my website that blanks out the page and displays a protest message with a link to the firefox download page when you visit it from a browser with this DRM feature. Here's the source inside one toot, feel free to copy and put it at the end of your website's before the closing tag:

Why does Firefox on Windows take so much RAM?
  • If Firefox is using an unexpected amount of RAM, report a bug by following the steps below:

    1. Open about:memory in a new tab.
    2. Click Measure and save...
    3. Attach the memory report to a new bug
    4. Paste your about:support info (Click Copy text to clipboard) to your bug.

    If you are experiencing a bug, the best way to ensure that something can be done about your bug is to report it in Bugzilla. This might seem a little bit intimidating for somebody who is new to bug reporting, but Mozillians are really nice!

    If you prefer not to open a bug, you can instead reduce the number of content processes used by Firefox to a lower amount by going to about:config and changing dom.ipc.processCount.webIsolated to a lower number.

    Replaying a video on YouTube makes it buffer all over again instead of it playing instantly like Chrome does. Is there any fix for this?
  • I just compared the behavior in both Chromium and Firefox on my machine, and as far as I can tell, they act the same.

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Open a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erQ_9yEz0ls
    2. Play the last 10 seconds
    3. Click "replay" button in the YouTube player

    What happens:

    The buffer is cleared in both browsers.

    What are you seeing that is different?
