if this becomes actually widely used ill just quit the internet altogether, cause fuuuuuuuck that
The internet would probably split in two. You'll have the corpo internet that can only be accessed by DRM enabled chrome browsers and... everything else. I can't see a non profit like Wikipedia turning that garbage on, nor Lemmy and Mastodon. There will still be sites to use (with Firefox or derivatives) and probably a rich ecosystem of mirrored content with the DRM stripped out.
hopefully but we saw this shit before chrome too, remember what happened with internet explorer? ~~as the saying goes, hopes dies last~~
And it had to get pretty bad before things got better.
Does it tho? Just because thats how it happens most the time doesnt mean that has to be the stays quo
I hope you're right, we're using part of that better internet right now.
