What was the reason for the removal?

[–] lemann@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

From what I can tell, it was due to including a modified & minified version of Netflix's actual video player, Cadmium

Hi @adamency , There were multiple reasons why it got removed, main one was that the cadmium player is a minified blob and they don't like that. https://github.com/vladikoff/netflix-1080p-firefox/blob/master/src/cadmium-playercore-1080p.js
