Mozilla officially opposes Web Enviroment Integrity API (DRM for web pages proposal from Google)

I feel like I've been forced to switch a lot of my default applications lately based on shitty decisions from tone deaf companies. I guess I'm going to move from Brave to Firefox finally.

Extremely common Firefox W

Stop using chrome. Absolute cancer of a browser

If this DRM can force you to use Chromium to display a webpage or content, that would be the most anticompetitive thing in recent times, and would absolutely not fly.

Can someone explain to me the google API and DRM situation in stupid people terms? I’m stupidly tech illiterate but I know that this is a big deal and I would like to understand

I hope EU steps in this time too

They try to present it as "detecting abuse", but it's literally just "allow servers to block non-verified browers"(in other words google blocking access to their services for non-chrome users(the people proposing it work for google)).

And as always these types of asshats always shit all over anyone using accessbility tools(or don't even consider them in the first place, which amounts to the same thing).

People ask me why I use Firefox when other products hace better features. This is the reason. This is the only feature I want: A fundation that helps and understands the user Thanks for all Mozilla.

If this goes through. Will Google become a browser monopoly and (hopefully) get sued

One just has to wonder... how evil can Google become?!

Have slowly been switching to Firefox for a couple of months, but the DRM proposal has gotten me to fully switch.

Based and actual freedom pilled

Fucking US and all their shitty companies. literally a big FU

I still don't get where this proposal originated. It looks like a random user, what's their connection to Google and why do we believe it's even under consideration by the organisation?

That's as true as it is irrelevant. I don't think I've heard anyone say chrome isn't a great browser or chromium isn't good - it's the control Google has over it that everyone has a problem with

If I'm still using degoogled chromium.. Am I still supporting Google? :(

It can't just be for the server - it also needs to be per-community or you still get a very homogeneous feed

And you need an algorithm that can balance that not just for 1 site, but do it dynamically for each site

We'll get there, but it's one of those issues that keeps getting more and more complex the longer you work on it

cool, now we need a voice that hasnt lost all its weight years ag
