For the millionth time, Stallman was right.

    Yep, you send me html, my browser can interpret it any way that I want it to. If I want to ignore all of the image and script tags, I can. I don't need Chrome or even Chromium. As Stallman says, you should know what is running on your system.

    We need to go back to html and css. Using an ad blocker and noscript literally breaks webpages. I just want to read the article! You know the content ppl actually come for

    I think a lot of people here don't understand the danger of this fully and dismiss it with "Just use Firefox, problem solved".
    Unfortunately, once this becomes widely available, that is once Chrome ships it, websites will start to use it.
    Maybe Amazon will just not sell to you anymore when you're browsing with Firefox?
    Maybe YouTube wont serve any videos if you're using Linux?
    Your bank will certainly implement this and only allow Windows 11 with Edge or some shit like that.
    Once this is implemented, we will all suffer, even if we're using better alternatives right now.

    My brother in Christ, it was 2020 before my bank supported passwords longer than 8 characters. We have 30 or 40 years before we need to worry about the banks.

    Have you ever rooted an android phone?

    The google SafteyNet Attestation is the precursor to browser DRM. It's essentially phone DRM.

    There are many banks that have apps that require you to pass at least the basic level attestation, if not the CTS profile matching that fails the moment you modify any system level resources, even the bootloader

    luckily you can force disable CTS so it falls back on the basic level, for most apps at least. You will never have access to Google or Samsung pay though, as it actually knows your phone model should support CTS and will autofail if it no longer reports that it does.

    Alongside that apps like Pokemon GO and Netflix also require at least basic attestation to function - demonstrating the DRM and anticheat capabilities of such a system.

    Ah yes, 2023. The year I wore a pirate hat and touched more grass. Soon they'll be bribing the govt to make going outside illegal.

    Like, seriously, went through the last 10 years spending a good chunk of my day on Twitter and Reddit using Chrome, and suddenly I'm on Lemmy/Mastodon on Firefox.

    tbh I'm just tired of all of this, we can't have nice things, ever... Every fucking thing in this world is being swallowed by corporate greed. Every service there's a catch, and I'm getting mad with it, things aren't made to serve their purpose, they only exist to make money and more money for people who already have infinite money, it's frustrating. Things need to change or everything is going to collapse... fuck companies, fuck billionaires, fuck stocks, fuck all of this

    Does anyone else think that maybe this may cause a shift back to times before internet

    Honestly, reddits API change was an awful thing to do but my phone usage has plummeted since then. I've been trying Lemmy but it's not been an easy 1:1 replacement and I find myself not engaging or feeling so invested in conversations and content as much.

    That works in my favor, though, because I really have been spending way too much time looking at screens anyway.
