Oh boy, it’s happening. Google is flexing it’s muscles and abusing it’s market position. It has never been a better way to convince and support family and friends in moving across to Firefox, a fast and privacy supporting browser.

    Yes, I wrote a comment here on it but there’s some more technical explanations on other comments on this post

    tl;dr: it’s basically DRM but for websites, also serves as adblocker/trackerblocker prevention that can’t be bypassed.

      It’s up to the individual websites to use it or not, any websites I would use probably wouldn’t use it. Hopefully the only website I need to access that is not FOSS, my mobile banking website, won’t use it.

        I fear it’ll start with banking and streaming and eventually get rolled out. I fear if we don’t block this at the start, it will eventually keep rolling. It’ll be like a snowball rolling down hill, we need to stop it getting on to the slope.
