This is the result of the world blindly using Chrome and other Chromium based browsers. Now with effectively full control over the browser that more than 90% of the world uses Google can force its will on the internet
i'm not really a tech-savvy guy here, so can someone explain if having DRMs like this would make ad-blocking near impossible for other chromium-based browsers too?
As I understand, if implemented, websites would basically be able to force you to see the page however it wants.
So if you view the page in Chrome, it might force you to not have any adblock.
If you view it in another chromium browser, like Arc, it could just force you to view it in Chrome.
