thank you so much!
Would you recommend everyone to turn on this DRM setting? Is there any downside? This seems like a perfect option to prevent MediaDRM tracking and I'm suprised it's not default turned on
I wouldn't recommend anything.
This is only what I know.
There is much much much more I don't know.
This might be useful to use temporarily when you add an app that you know will read these values on install.
You may be able to use an app like geto to have this option toggled so that it only uses the developer settings option when the app is launched and returns to hardware when it closes.
Keep in mind there are a host of other identifiers on your device that can also be used to track and identify the user and device.
I like privacy and security.
