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.

    As I understand, if implemented, websites would basically be able to force you to see the page however it wants.

    So if you view the page in Chrome, it might force you to not have any adblock.

    If you view it in another chromium browser, like Arc, it could just force you to view it in Chrome.
