You wouldn't have access to the websites with a non ' drm ' compatible browser
I wouldn't use websites that require that shit and would likely Report them to the Cartel Office for that practice.
Its absolutely impossible to do that to the entire internet anyway.
Not to the whole internet, but to important websites. I have no doubt you wouldn't use those websites, but a person who is in the fediverse is already not the average user
Yeah, if your work uses a website like ADP and ADP starts requiring it, you're suddenly minorly fucked
To be fair I only do work from a work computer, and my work computer already has a ton of shit on it I'd never use in my personal life.
If it became a thing, I'd keep an older machine around just for accessing stuff like that. How much is a second hand craptop these days, like $400, not nothing, but not a huge amount.
I've never been unable to access a site on Firefox due to DRM. There is a prompt asking to run DRM-enabled media, but that's it.
Edit: or is there something about Manifest v3 that will get Firefox blocked somehow? IDK how as I would think it would be easy to pretend to be compliant.
Click the Github link in the original post. Google has an RFC open right now about "web integrity" about ensuring users don't modify the content they see. They claim it's not to block plugins but... It's hard to think what else they could possibly be thinking of.
