Google is working on essentially putting DRM on the web (github.com)
 
 

cross-posted from: https://beehaw.org/post/6738148

The much maligned "Trusted Computing" idea requires that the party you are supposed to trust deserves to be trusted, and Google is DEFINITELY NOT worthy of being trusted, this is a naked power grab to destroy the open web for Google's ad profits no matter the consequences, this would put heavy surveillance in Google's hands, this would eliminate ad-blocking, this would break any and all accessibility features, this would obliterate any competing platform, this is very much opposed to what the web is.

And since you won't be able to modify web pages, it will also mean the end of customization, either for looks (ie. DarkReader, Stylus), conveniance (ie. Tampermonkey) or accessibility.

The community feedback is... interesting to say the least.

It does seem that using Chrome (or Chrome based browsers) is just going to going to perpetuate this. Firefox has never been more important IMHO.

Google schlägt Web Standard für [verifiziertes Öffnen von Websites] vor. Damit wird das Open Web unterminiert und es eröffnen sich Möglichkeiten DRM in Webseiten zu enforcen (github.com)

Bei anderen EntwicklerInnen auf GitHub kommt das nicht gut an: https://github.com/RupertBenWiser/Web-Environment-Integrity/issues/28

Bitte versucht von Google Chrome (und seien Blink-Engine baiserenden Safari, Edge, Brave, etc.) auf einen anderen Browser wie firefox zu wechseln. Nur weil Google Chrome so verbreitet ist, hat Google so viel Macht über das Web, weil sie mit grossen Vorsprung der meistgenutzte Browser und daher die Client side kontrollieren. Wenn Google Chrome nicht so verbreitet wäre, dann hätten die das wahrscheinlich auch nicht erst vorgeschlagen.
