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.

    if it’s baked into the browser - then that’s all sites

    pretty funny though that maybe all those people in the 80s / early 90s were right - the internet is just a passing fad, but only because they ruined it with ads.
