Your choice of browser matters — Google’s Web DRM and the open internet

https://grafcube.codeberg.page/blog/2023/08/06/web-drm-api.html

I wrote this blog post to inform the people I know who aren’t as tech savvy or otherwise don’t put any thought into their choice of browser. Another goal is to help get enough awareness on the topic and make sure it fails.

@Mindlight but it hasn’t happened yet. Getting everyone to switch away from Chrome isn’t going to help anyone and that’s why there needs to be legal action.

It will because websites will not drop support for 20% of users, they might if it is 3%. This is how product owners make decisions on browser support.

I think its bit late for awareness campaigns now , google will eventually bring the web integrity api , I am very scared about if we will even be able to use new OSes , but i guess a new web with less dependancy may develop !
