          that’s exactly what people said with manifest V3 then all the sudden they were getting strikes on youtube for having their ad blocker on

            And how well did that work out? I personally haven’t gotten any strike on youtube, using uBlock/mpv on PC, Youtube Revanced on mobile and SmartTube for TV since forever

            Also there’s this https://invidious.io/. So yeah, it’s just the classic cat & mouse game that has been going on for ever since software added drm

              Google has already lashed out at Invidious though, and they’ll keep trying

              I agree that in most cases people can find workarounds, but I don’t think we should take these things for granted

                Google has no ground to stand on against Invidious

                They may harass them but it’ll be veeery difficult to chase down all instances

                  Oh, I’m well aware of that, but I also have little faith in the justice system to recognize this

                  In any case, it seems like a warning shot from Google and an interest in taking down sites like Invidious

                  I’m not trying to spread doubt, but I also think complacency is dangerous, especially given the history of corporate giants like Google

                    Steamrolling this change Forcing people to have an incredably invasive change to force you to use chrome or use googled android, or use googled chromebooks.

                    its incredably bright lines it would destablize trust in anything that agrees with it. If the amrican court doesnt prosecute. It will eather show the ignorance/lies in others or destablize amarican trust in the law.

              It’s probably a slow roll out for exact cases like this one to ease the backlash. I havent gotten any notice like such either but Im on Firefox. I do fully support invidious though

        Ads. To be precise this on it’s own provides a way for servers to be certain of the environment the pages run (browser, plugins, os). Protecting ads or other functions come from servers refusing unattested configurations or configurations they don’t like (i.e. running adblock, running firefox, running linux).

          if chrome fully adapts this, this might well be a full blown commerical by chrome for people to switch to firefox. i have been only using chrome only to run our projects locally and test it out.

          It should be noted that “being certain of the environment the pages run” requires controlling the client software being executed which requires preventing the user from modifying said executable which requires the browser to either be closed source or, more effectively, controlling the user’s hardware via blackbox verification chips (e.g. TPM DRM). It’s not just advertisers that would benefit but any website that wants to DRM content.

        I’d guess it’s first gonna be used for streaming TV shows and such. After that it’ll probably be used for absurd things

          I thought they were already being protected by DRM.

            Kinda, but it doesn’t work very well. Using video download manager you can download pretty much every video from the web

              Can you recommend me one that can be used to download DRM protected content from OTT platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime and Mubi? Might well as archive the content I watch.

                Sadly I can’t, netflix won’t let me watch anything on Librewolf/Firefox on linux. I’d recommend looking into getting a good proxy, a Jellyfin server and also the *arr stack (Sonarr, etc…)

                    Yes, personally I use ProtonVPN. Iirc they don’t care about copyright laws because they don’t really apply in their country, I might be wrong though

                    Also make sure your ip doesn’t get leaked by your torrent client

        Malware, malware encrypts its code so researchers cant crack into it and antivirus cant anilize it. Google is accedentally sponsoring malware
