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

    Except websites can just drop support for incompatible browsers.

      So then stop going to those websites. It’s a viable way to protest.

        Yeah, but be realistic. They aren’t going to miss us, the 7% who already block ads and mostly don’t pay for anything, anyways.
