It's a way to disable ad blockers.
Presently web servers send data to your browser, which can arrange the content however you wish, because it's your browser on your device. Excluding content you don't like is fairly trivial.
This drm stuff will basically make the browser refuse to display anything unless the whole page is unaltered.
Does unaltered include things like colorblind extension that change colors to more easily differentiate between some red/green for example? Or stuff like reddit enhancement suite? Sounds like a good way to kill other possible useful extensions.
That's exactly what it will do. Don't believe the bullshit in their "non-goals" section, they don't give a fuck. If accessibility extensions happen to continue working (at least temporarily), it will be by accident, because they for damn sure aren't going to spend even a second on compatibility.
Shit man, this would ruin even the small internet. I won't even be able to cheat on dragcave. And most of what I was doing was keeping a tally of my collection since the site doesn't do that. But there's no way page modifications wouldn't be caught and punished no matter what they actually do.
Yes.
