I'd prefer it if you didn't ping them about my thoughts on this.

deleted!! is there backstory I missed? I believe they have similar incentives and have made progress towards providing an example for factoring out many of the questionable google-y bits. I'm happily widevine-free in part due to their efforts.

I strongly dislike their CEO and consider a fair bit of what they've done as a company to be quite problematic. I prefer avoiding contact with them over conflict.
I have too much other stuff to deal with to have the bandwidth available to deal with them.

Chromium itself doesn't come with Widevine. If you build desktop Chromium with enable_widevine=true it enables support for fetching and using it. It's not enabled by default.
It has support for other implementations too. I want to have it work this way for Google services too.

So, for example, there should be a way to configure the service to use for correcting navigating errors. It should default to not using one. If they have no intention of standardizing and documenting how this works, they should just move this proprietary Google service to Chrome.
