    DRM is an umbrella term for technologies which allow media consumption for legitimate users and prevent access to everyone else. Examples are CD copy protection, serial numbers for software, as well as modern tools like encryption and remote access validation.

    Most people don’t use extensions thus no one will notice in general.

        50% of 3%, that’s a whopping 1.5%! 😅

        But jokes aside, the average Firefox user is probably a lot more likely to have extensions than the average Chrome user.

        Your graph is only for Firefox users. And even among Firefox users extension use is less than 50%. I understand that English language can be hard for many, but when a group of people represented more than 50% of all people in the statistic, then such group is called a “majority” or “most people”.

        People are technically illiterate. For most of human history, majority of population couldn’t read. Right until basic education started to be enforced. And it wasn’t something most approved back in the days.

          For most of human history, majority of population couldn’t read.

          Common misconception. Most people couldn’t read and write in Latin, which was the only literacy statistic anyone cared about in the middle ages. People could usually write out something in their mother tongue in order to write a letter or leave a note. Keep in mind that spelling was not standardized in English until basic education (as you alluded to). That’s when rules about grammar and spelling started to be standardized. Prior to that, people just wrote phonetically and there was no societal norms for that being wrong. As long as you could be understood, you were writing.
