    Seems like a desperate attempt to boost ad revenue that has been steadily shrinking due to adblockers and the rise of LLMs.

      From high level reading, this seems centered on attestation of the HW and SW rendering content on a device. Since a pihole is not visible to the device, I hope this means it would still work? Someone with more knowhow ready to weigh in?

        Pihole uses DNS, this shouldn’t affect Pihole.

    Adblocking? That’s nothing compared to the social damage made by cutting off any non-Google approved web client.

    These fucking 9-5 idiots have no idea that what they are creating is an IP which will be Googles and these idiots will get fired or made redundant once google got what it wants. That’s why management gets paid in millions and 9-5 bitches may be max 200k-500k max.
