It will affect for some sites, not for others. You'll no longer be able to bypass paywalls to read news, for example, because those sites will most likely adopt the DRM. Some streaming services may do the same, maybe even some social networks. But places like lemmy will still be generally unnaffected.

Why would you not be able to bypass news paywalls? As long as one user pays for the service they can then crawl the site and host the content on a separate site.
I really hope they cancel this
All lemmy links to another site wouldnt work then.. lol

I'm sure they will use it on their own products, so maybe it's time to replace google products?
I will probably switch to protonmail when gmail won't be accessible from firefox
Maybe we go back to Peer to Peer?
Centrally hosted websites are perfectly fine, they just need to not opt-in this tech.
