Google engineers want to introduce DRMs for web pages, making ad-blocking near-impossible in the browser - Lemmy

And since you won’t be able to modify web pages, it will also mean the end of customization, either for looks (ie. DarkReader, Stylus), conveniance (ie. Tampermonkey) or accessibility. The community feedback [https://github.com/RupertBenWiser/Web-Environment-Integrity/issues] is… interesting to say the least.

What the fuck is happening to the internet recently?

Twitter and Reddit CEOs completely losing their minds, and now Google of all companies wants to lock down the whole internet?

This isn’t even close to being okay. It’s 100% bullshit.

Google has already been a worthless pos for years. Impossible to get relevant results, even with operators. You just get ads and irrelevant SEO sites. And adding "reddit" at the end of the query will probably not work so well in the future either, seeing how that site has also gone to shit.

And they have already tried monopolising the entire internet with their amp bullshit.

So this is just in line with their vision of making the whole internet into a pile of burning shit under their total control.

Hello from Kagi. It’s better over here.

Yeah I've been a little interested in trying Kagi, but it is quite expensive... Are the results that much better?

They give you a couple searches for free each month (I think it’s 10) - go try it out!
