It's wild just how much they're trying to shove AI down our throats.

Just consider that Netfliix and Co. don’t offer higher resolutions than 720p (?) on browsers that are not Edge

  • Specifically, on browsers that are not Edge on Windows. And yeah, I genuinely don't know the reasoning is behind specifically requiring Edge on Windows, when I'm sure Chrome on Windows supports the same DRM. Does Edge have some additional Windows-specific DRM on top of Widevine that's connected to TPM2 and VBS that the streaming services use for authentication or something?

Isn't it possible to get around by changing your browser user agent?
