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.

    Yup, and as I said, it’s possible that I’m attributing these design changes to the wrong thing, but it’s hard not see them as greed driven when you consider what’s happening in other parts of our digital lives.

      Oh, they’re definitely greed driven. You have to do research on games nowadays to find ones that aren’t predatory, which is more trouble than it’s worth to some.

        I find that factory-building genre games tend to be not greed driven like DSP, Satisfactory, Factorio, etc
