looks like rendering adblockers extensions obsolete with manifest-v3 was not enough so now they try to implement DRM into the browser giving the ability to any website to refuse traffic to you if you don't run a complaint browser ( cough...firefox )
here is an article in hacker news since i'm sure they can explain this to you better than i.
and also some github docs
Also it’s not kinda drm, it is drm. Like fr
From what I've read, the information they're gathering already exists and can be gathered by the server (browser type, user, etc.) with an added layer of encryption to ensure that information isn't tampered with which is easily spoofed today. Of course, this approach doesn't stop folks from tampering with the web browser directly to inject whatever information (outside of maybe what browser they're using since that'll be tied to the key) they want into the payload but that makes closed-source web browsers substantially more trustworthy (aka not Firefox) to site owners.
If this does gain mass market adoption, then yeah, I suspect it will force users to use proprietary web browsers (google chrome, edge, etc.). Which is a step in the direction that Google wants.
I imagine that ad providers (Google) can also start throwing their weight to force mass adoption by de-monetizing non-compliant browsers, which may pressure site owners to not serve non-compliant browsers.
Correct me if I'm mistaken.
rip cds dvds and load to cheap thumb drives for legal backups. distribute to your friends in case you lose your copy. It's on them if they copy your backups. vlc usually just works as a mobile->car bluetooth source. G broke theirs hoping to charge for it on YTmusic. not a dime mfrs. ha. I use HandBrake for ripping dvds->mp4s, mp3 w/e you need. many other rippers to choose from. open source forever. chrome is just google's version of that source code. get a working version
