I think a lot of people here don't understand the danger of this fully and dismiss it with "Just use Firefox, problem solved".
Unfortunately, once this becomes widely available, that is once Chrome ships it, websites will start to use it.
Maybe Amazon will just not sell to you anymore when you're browsing with Firefox?
Maybe YouTube wont serve any videos if you're using Linux?
Your bank will certainly implement this and only allow Windows 11 with Edge or some shit like that.
Once this is implemented, we will all suffer, even if we're using better alternatives right now.

For the millionth time, Stallman was right.

Stop using chrome. Yes brave is chrome

Just use Firefox, Mozilla already put their stance forward as opposing this garbage

Firefox is faster than chrome anyway nowadays.

DRM is stupid because it interferes with paying customers and isn’t effective. If there’s a will there’s a way

Like, seriously, went through the last 10 years spending a good chunk of my day on Twitter and Reddit using Chrome, and suddenly I'm on Lemmy/Mastodon on Firefox.

Google in 2004: don’t be evil Google in 2023: turns into Dr. Evil

One more time if anyone says that capitalism breeds innovation we need to show them this ¡!

API changes*

Ah yes, 2023. The year I wore a pirate hat and touched more grass. Soon they'll be bribing the govt to make going outside illegal.

"What's internet? It it like Googlenet but worse?"

-Some kid in the future

Plus the paid streaming services adding ads back in and they are all the SAME fucking ads?

🎶 Do what you want because a pirate is a free, you are a pirate! 🎶

Reddit don't have IPA on tap anymore?

Wait, Google's doing what now?

We'll make out own internet! With blackjack and hookers!

Does anyone else think that maybe this may cause a shift back to times before internet

Why watch the news when you can learn everything from memes

Honestly this is just depressing. And a little scary ?

Corporate greed is taking new heights and the things we took for granted are being taken away. It is all so dystopic...

Yeet.

Dyslexic's being attacked by that font

For those interested in actively opposing this - the following blog offers some advice on how to do so.

tbh I'm just tired of all of this, we can't have nice things, ever... Every fucking thing in this world is being swallowed by corporate greed. Every service there's a catch, and I'm getting mad with it, things aren't made to serve their purpose, they only exist to make money and more money for people who already have infinite money, it's frustrating. Things need to change or everything is going to collapse... fuck companies, fuck billionaires, fuck stocks, fuck all of this

I'm used to dealing with DRM, too. If it can be stripped out of a game or other software, it could be stripped out of the internet itself. Maybe some of the old cracking scenes that quit due to boredom will return for the challenge.
