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

    Apple does though. Just not as much as google.

    Google is an ad company. It has other products but at the end of the day it’s just a bloated as company. Apple isn’t.

    Apple still uses that data and I think it pretty much has to sell it to use it.

    I think there definitely things we can do as consumers. Force companies to be transparent and make sure they encrypted all data so it’s less dangerous to its users. Same procedure for data collection for research.

    Ive been moving to brave but now I’ve just moved everything over to Firefox now. I will try out duck duck. Didn’t they recently get in trouble for selling data.

    I’m in the Google ecosystem and use a pixel phone. I’m very google. I used to love company but I was young and naive. I hate apple with a passion so I’m kinda screwed either way.

    I can go live in a cave and not use any devices and it would make zero difference to these companies. So it’s really just for my own.

    I use Google photos. I pay for extra space. I’m sure there are plenty I can move to but if it disappears then I’ll lose everything. Big risk.

    I have Gmail/ Hotmail. If there’s a new email I can use that’s easy and works then I can move. Unfortunately a huge issue that we all will have will be changing emails for hundreds of accounts. 2fa set ups and accounts and all sorts.

    Does Android Auto run on third party stuff. Maps I need for work and just life in general.
