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.

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.

Sometimes I see people with multiple toolbars in their browsers. These could sniff/leak data.

If you provide a service for your user, you may want to restrict access to your peticular customer.

I do not like it either. But the explainer to me does not appear like DRM in the first place.

And I am wondering if the client could just encrypt some fake data. How should the web server know? They get one ID and the content binding, which does not appear to be anything new (fragment/data from URL). But I am not developing websites.
