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.

    Thanks. Can’t say I’m surprised…

    Seems a necessary arrangement to keep Mozilla alive and Google on the throne. After reading that, I doubt it’s possible for Firefox to ever get out from under Google’s wing, but I can see Google eventually tossing Firefox from the nest. I guess that’s how business works…
