looks like rendering adblockers extensions obsolete with manifest-v3 was not enough so now they try to implement DRM into the browser giving the ability to any website to refuse traffic to you if you don't run a complaint browser ( cough...firefox )

here is an article in hacker news since i'm sure they can explain this to you better than i.

and also some github docs

I wouldn't use websites that require that shit and would likely Report them to the Cartel Office for that practice.

Its absolutely impossible to do that to the entire internet anyway.

Not to the whole internet, but to important websites. I have no doubt you wouldn't use those websites, but a person who is in the fediverse is already not the average user

Yeah, if your work uses a website like ADP and ADP starts requiring it, you're suddenly minorly fucked

To be fair I only do work from a work computer, and my work computer already has a ton of shit on it I'd never use in my personal life.

If it became a thing, I'd keep an older machine around just for accessing stuff like that. How much is a second hand craptop these days, like $400, not nothing, but not a huge amount.
