Google proposed adding DRM to Chrome, which will be used to stop ad blockers, privacy tools, password plugins, accessibility/reader modes.
The only way to stop Google’s Chrome from wrecking the internet like Internet Explorer did for many year to switch to a NOT chromium-based browser as soon as possible for your day to day. You’ve got Safari, and Firefox as your choices.
I know you’ll have to use Chrome sometimes because it’s already happening.
@af I'm pretty sure some Chromium-based browsers will also refuse to implement it - e.g. Brave has a very long list of things it disables or removes from the Chromium code in their builds
@af my work forces me to use chrome because we pay for Micro$ofts fucking terrible business suite and it does't work in anything except Edge and Chrome. My level of rage is incomprehensible.
@piskvor@af@kay_kidoutai Well, "reskin" is a bit harsh when you consider it offers a completely different and user-centric experience, as well as the company's devotion to removing and disabling bits of chromium they disagree with, hence my suggestion.
@af Safari user here. It’s perfect for everything from webdev to browsing and actually faster than the alternatives. And yes, Chrome has been deprecated and removed from the Good place.
@nthcdr@af@maikel That's just two examples I came up with. It's becoming really quite common for sites at companies with some huge generational corporate application engine as the backend.
