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’m not really expecting millions of visitors to “inferno’s corner of the web” though.

    Images and video should be less of a problem as time progresses. Like I said, bandwidth is increasing, storage is already fairly cheap. This isn’t about hosting the next YouTube or imgur, either.
