Installing Flash does not count as "just works"... and Firefox does not
support EME on Linux, and it won't support it for a while. I tried it this
week with both the release version, and nightly, and neither had EME
working.

"I'll look at this from a different point of view. What good is chrome, no
matter how wonderful and fast and easy it is, if an entire segment of the
population cannot use it? Where's the justification for not even bothering
to make it usable except through their own addons? I for one have not bought
into the wonderfullness of drm, or the "just works" philosophy. Some of my
community has, but I have not. No matter how good a piece of software is, if
I can't use it, it might as well be a black screen. My two scents, I'll shut
up now, I've beaten this dead horse enough lol.
You're asking fine questions, but nobody here is advocating for Chrome
nor can we answer those questions even if we were. They should be
asked of Google upstream.
