Google engineers want to introduce DRMs for web pages, making ad-blocking near-impossible in the browser - eviltoast

And since you won’t be able to modify web pages, it will also mean the end of customization, either for looks (ie. DarkReader, Stylus), conveniance (ie. Tampermonkey) or accessibility.

The community feedback is… interesting to say the least.

    I didn’t know I was so evil that I’m doing the world a worse place just because I prefer a different browser. And I’m ideologically far form alt-right, btw.

    OTOH, talking about corporate greed:

      that is a funny graph. Even assuming the data is true, it deliberately missrepresents market share as usage. Which pretty much neglects the fact hat maybe a person or two and a device with a browser or two have entered the market since then.

      Also it does not have any information on source of the data, methodology, definition of the terms etc. So it is pretty much worthless as an argument.

        Fine, so on the same basis we can also reject the “chromium dominance” argument, which is the main selling point of Mozilla.

              That doesnt really have anything to do with what I said?

              That said, the reason Edge feels like good enough for you is probably because you don’t know very much about / haven’t tried other browsers.
