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
Unless something changed isn’t every browser running on iOS essentially just Safari at it’s core? That’s a pretty big user base to punish.
Yes that's correct. Same with the apple keyboard, which is why the keyboard and browsers on IOS are such shit
I think Apples philosophy is that for everything you normally do on your iPhone you use an app. The browser is only for exceptions, and that's reflected in the care they put in it.
I don't know why you hate the keyboard. It works just fine with a multitude of features for me, for which I'd install two or three different keyboards on my Android devices. Why on earth you would want to install a 3rd party keyboard of all things is beyond me. That's the thing where you type in all your passwords.
Ever since I switched to Firefox, I have not looked back and I am glad I did it.
I'm the exact same. Firefox has been great. Switched about three years ago.
web env. integrity is not as bad as people make it out to be.
yeah I absolutely agree that it's terrible and also a bad idea (we don't need MORE drm in our browsers, I'm looking at you, Widevine (although firefox worked around it by running drm in an isolated container)), but it's main purpose is to detect automated requests and effectively block web scraping with a drm system (it ensures two things: your useragent can be trusted and you're a real non-automated user), NOT detect ad blockers. It doesn't prevent web pages from being modified like some people are saying.
there's a lot of misleading information about the api as it doesn't "verify integrity" of the web page/DOM itself.
it works by creating a token that a server can verify, for example when a user creates a new post. If the token is invalid, server may reject your attempt to do an action you're trying to perform. (this will probably just lead to a forced captcha in browsers that don't support it...)
Also, here's a solution: Just don't use Chrome or any Chromium-based browsers.
Using two different browsers should be the norm imo. One for comfort, performance and compatibility, like Chrome, Edge or Opera, and the other one for privacy, like Firefox, UGC, Tor, DDG, etc.
