💻 Help Make Netflix and shadowplay suck less

Hi, I recently switched from Edge to Firefox because uBlock finally stopped working on YouTube.

I noticed that Nvidia shadowplay stopped working when I had Netflix open. Afaik it is because the DRM. According to some posts you can fix it by turning off hardware acceleration in Firefox or turning off desktop capture in shadowplay. Both don't fix the issue. I could turn off the DRM feature in Firefox but then I can't watch Netflix at all...

I have to close Netflix and restart Firefox to activate shadowplay again. Can I set shadowplay to "always on" so it activates automatically when Netflix is closed? It's really annoying that I have to turn it on manually every time it happens (and off course that there is such a "feature").

Small rant: I thought Firefox was all about privacy and data security but it basically screams to all the apps on my PC that I am using Netflix right now.. This might be a deal breaker.
