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 guess now is one of those famous best times to do it. If you want even more privacy and security ootb, you can try Librewolf. Recently released Mullvad Browser seems to be pretty up there too, at least from what I’ve read so far.

    And if you’re on Android, Mull is pretty much for Smartphones what Librewolf is for Desktops.

      What additions does Librewolf have over stock Firefox? I haven’t been using FF for a week now with Ublock Origin and it has been great.

        It pretty much has all the possible settings (on and under the hood) for more privacy and security applied ootb, and comes with uBlock Origin.

        Technically, you can achieve the same result by configuring base Firefox yourself, but why do that if someone else already did the work for you
