Same here, not buying any more Ubisoft games with over-the-top DRM. The good news is, the retail version of Rayman is supposed to be DRM-free when it's released (though online purchases still have a one-time activation for some reason), so it's possible Ubisoft is (slowly) learning their lesson.

As a web developer and after all the nuisance old IE's gave me and other web developers back in the day, this is really what's stupid with Chromium and Google's approach. They're mimicking the old Microsoft here - make your own "standards" and break the web by making features and sites that only work Google's browser. I seriously thought we would had been past that and the old IE's were the last browsers that didn't adhere to standards. IE9 is now fully standards compliant, and what does Google do? Oh yes, break the web AGAIN.

You are aware JavaScript started out as a proprietary extension to Netscape, right?

You guys all laugh, but go try to fill out a job application at Subway's web site. You'll be taken to a web site built entirely in Silverlight. Yes, it takes over the entire client area of the browser and even supplies its own scroll bar. I don't normally like to throw around terms like "epic fail", but I'm finding it difficult to come up with another way of describing my feelings when I saw it.
