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.

Here are the github repository, issues and comments immortalised for posterity in IPFS:

The issues and comments are in github json format -- if anyone wants to collate them into a human-readable text or html file, please do so.

Edit: Its immortality of course depends on you to access and pin the content.

Users often depend on websites trusting the client environment they run in. This trust may assume that the client environment is honest about certain aspects of itself, keeps user data and intellectual property secure, and is transparent about whether or not a human is using it. This trust is the backbone of the open internet, critical for the safety of user data and for the sustainability of the website’s business.

Jesus christ just the introduction paragraph is a load of horseshit. Actually bold faced lies. Users depend on websites trusting the client? In what fucking world are websites trusting the client??? Literally the only case is the media DRM that should have never been part of the web in the first place.

If this were to become a thing, couldn't you take the html and insert the content into a locally generated page and modify that?

Create a browser that creates a live 4K video stream of any visited page then uses AI to identify ads on the page and cover them with a solid matching the pages color.

This seems so ridiculous. I'm coming from a privacy perspective. I'm using a number of extensions that block as many trackers as possible. Now I may have to give that up just so someone can "attest" to my identity. I'll have to forgo my privacy, otherwise I can't use the web.

Geez this would suck but as with other drm I’m sure the de-drm plug-in would follow

[–] BlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.com 21 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I'm afraid that browsers supporting this DRM would also block attempts to break it and that browsers that do not support it get blocked by websites using it
