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

It’s not the promised land of open source and free software. But at the very least they have a business model that does not consist of selling all my data to the highest bidder.

I think that much we can acknowledge.

Now, will they comply with law enforcement, usually yes. That’s part of running a company, and that’s a good thing. But what do you expect? Some medium sized free software company (because to sell hardware you need a company) that does not comply with law enforcement?

That’s raising expectations to unfulfillable levels. Are you a forever unsatisfiable grievance-monger?

Sorry to hear that DuckDuckGo doesn’t work for you. Maybe you gotta use Google instead because there just is no alternative.

You can't possibly believe that.

I expect my encrypted data to remain encrypted and out of the laws hands.
