I held off on Windows 10 for as long as I could until Adobe, and therefore my job, required it. Now this nonsense. I hope this isn't the start of them joining on the web DRM bandwagon.

When I mentioned Windows, I meant that Adobe also requires Windows 10. And I don't believe in using edge or chrome because they're both anti-privacy. I feel like a huge company like Adobe aim to be compatible on most browsers and shouldn't limit their website visibility because of the browser you're using, especially with something like Firefox which is well-known. It sets a bad precedent for other websites to do the same, which cuts off the freedom of the web.
That does suck but useragent switchers surely get around that for now?
I think sometimes you've gotta just minimise the amount of proprietary/anti privacy stuff you use. Why not just run windows in a VM and pass your GPU in for Photoshop? No need to switch fully
