They want everything to run in TEE on the TPM, which has device specific keys signed by the manufacturer and can't be accessed through normal means

Best case scenario is someone learns to spoof it, but that's not easy. Possible, but unlikely to be packaged for personal use, since it'd be the kind of exploit you could sell to the right group for a 6 or 7 figure payout - and that's doing it officially and above board. Plus, if you did share it, you'd want to keep your identity hidden, the manufacturer would probably try to silence you with legal action

Hopefully, the EU challenges them if they try to move forward, someone brought up a law on the books in Germany that makes it illegal to use an automated system to make the decision to deny someone access to a system

Ever since I switched to Firefox, I have not looked back and I am glad I did it.

i cant believe people still use chrome.

Remember kids, piracy and shoplifting are your friends. Reason I say shoplifting is this will be used to block you from paying for stuff online, just look at how google pay is blocked on non google approved spyware Roms

Unless something changed isn’t every browser running on iOS essentially just Safari at it’s core? That’s a pretty big user base to punish.

Dude if they make youtube accessible only through Chrome we gonna have some problems.

I am pirating stuffs. They can't stop me. No other websites can stop me. Piracy sites are not going to use DRM. Firefox + ublock is heaven. Using it even for browsing lemmy as I like the mobile interface better than apps available right now.

Most probably firefox will also bring this or they will lose market share further which is already pretty low.

Alright time to move off of any google systems then. Starting with gmail later today..

Lol welp, guess who just switched to Firefox

This code will only ever be installed on my machines by force against my will.

No benefit to any users at all, all benefit only to Google and their Advertisers.

BIG INTERNET is coming to get us

And if you start building a QEMU machine that spoofes your machine IDs? So you can do all ypur DRM sruff from QEMU?

I have long felt that the computer industry course-corrected with mobile phones. They made a mistake in the early years of computers by letting users do things like install software from unauthorized sources, modify software to run to their liking, or even strip out the operating system and replace it with an alternative. Now we get things like TPM, Pluton, chains of trust, and DRM. 2% (rounding up) to protect users from malicious software tampering, 99% (rounding down) to extract rents from users and to track them for advertising or other purposes.

Well they can DRM deez nutz

refuse traffic to you if you don't run a complaint browser ( cough...firefox )

Ah, so I'll need a new extension that fakes my browser to say it's chrome before I can use adblocker. I think this is a cat and mouse game with no end.
