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.

    Yeah, unfortunately.

    I wish there was a better model that people would be willing to embrace.

    It seems that for some services, requiring payment seems obvious, while for others it seems like an insult to ask.

    More companies would be willing to offer a system where you pay to avoid advertisements if personal data wasn’t worth so much.
