I do agree it is not a dilemma to everyone. Still many believe that blocking ads harms creators supported by them. It is true for google adsense based platforms like youtube (youtube premium requires account, hence privacy implication).

Instead any content anyone watches can be rewatched with ads enabled.

In case a platform trust not logged in views less (as it might be on youtube, I am not sure) the privacy risk can be mitigated by having a -big enough) network of logged in account to ‘view’ the contents ad enabled.

What do you think?

    Does it give high (≥ 1080p) quality in browser without widevine? Good way to check is firefox. It shows a handcuff sign near the address bar.

      Firefox does not show a handcuff symbol for nebula’s video player - so it looks safe for DRM concerns. The video player also seems to just be a plain old video tag though there may be sneaky JS stuff happening to it - while I’ve worked extensively on web apps media serving using modern html is out of my wheelhouse.
