"textContent": "> Just stay tuned.\n\nDon't worry — I'll be there in case something happens.\n\n\n> I will be restoring Australis in this new project, though the old Dactyloidae theme will be an add-on.\n\nGood to know. With well-maintained software, sticking to the same design over many years is nowadays almost a feature in itself.\n\n\n> Will be researching how themes work in the FX add-on store, as they act like extensions for some reason.\n\nAlright, but I have to add that changing the theme is not a high priority for me: a simple default theme would be entirely sufficient for now, until the more urgent issues are resolved.\n\n\n> There's a bunch of stuff you mentioned I will add, but one thing I **cannot add** is a Widevine Content Decryption Module plugin.\n\nThat’s fine by me. I think I’ve occasionally encountered Widevine DRM-protected SoundCloud tracks and news videos in the past — nothing that carries much weight for me. I merely mentioned it to ensure complete transparency regarding what WF56 can do and what Dactyloidae cannot.\n\n\n> A Widevine license sets me back around £3000\n\nAre you sure? Google itself states:_A license agreement is required for the use of Widevine products or services. Widevine does not assess any fee for use of its products and services._\n\n\n> and I am a 17y/o student.\n\nThis — and not being a disenfranchised EU citizen — seems nowadays to be the fundamental prerequisite for being able to even contemplate such a hopeful web browser project. Just my completely baseless opinion.\n\n\n> I literally cannot afford that, and neither can most organizations (even Pale Moon!)\n\nIf I am reading this correctly, the biggest obstacle lies simply in getting Google to respond to a request in the first place. Which comes as no great surprise to me — considering how one receives support whenever problems arise with a Gmail account. But perhaps, indirectly and in the distant future, it might be possible to add basic Widevine support.\n\n* * *",
