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

    First they established a new standard for extensions that makes it harder for adblockers to work in chrome, that’s manifest v3.

    And now they want establish cryptographic verification of the environment so that you can’t have a custom environment in your browser, like having adblockers. Similar to how DRM works.

    As long as average Joe uses chrome, we’re doomed.

      Why can’t we have nice things? I switch to Lemmy, about a month after that, Meta joins the fediverse.

      I switch to Firefox ( thanks to the hype in this community, because I am average Joe after all) and yeah, it feels nicer. But wait- now these news…
