Your choice of browser matters โ€” Google's Web DRM and the open internet

https://grafcube.codeberg.page/blog/2023/08/06/web-drm-api.html

I wrote this blog post to inform the people I know who aren't as tech savvy or otherwise don't put any thought into their choice of browser. Another goal is to help get enough awareness on the topic and make sure it fails.

@grafcube @opensource @privacy Which I also wanted to say, the only Ads Brave allow are Ads in Search Results as far ik, I never seen any other ads so far while using Brave on Android (on Desktop I have uBO on top), you also said that Firefox has the superior Fingerprinting Protections which isn't rly true, Brave's approach to defend fingerprinting by randomization (giving every website a unique fingerprint every new session, etc.) is pretty effective. While Vivaldi has almost no fingepriting1/2

@grafcube @opensource @privacy 2/2 protections which make it a lot weaker compared too Brave. I wouldn't never recommend Vilvadi over Brave, if it's about privacy.
