Yep, you send me html, my browser can interpret it any way that I want it to. If I want to ignore all of the image and script tags, I can. I don't need Chrome or even Chromium. As Stallman says, you should know what is running on your system.

We need to go back to html and css. Using an ad blocker and noscript literally breaks webpages. I just want to read the article! You know the content ppl actually come for

[–] tryptaminev@feddit.de 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

But how is all the bloat going to get to you then? HTML with some images is equally functional and loads in a fraction of the time, because it is actually efficient. Nobody could want that could they?

I think a lot of people here don't understand the danger of this fully and dismiss it with "Just use Firefox, problem solved".
Unfortunately, once this becomes widely available, that is once Chrome ships it, websites will start to use it.
Maybe Amazon will just not sell to you anymore when you're browsing with Firefox?
Maybe YouTube wont serve any videos if you're using Linux?
Your bank will certainly implement this and only allow Windows 11 with Edge or some shit like that.
Once this is implemented, we will all suffer, even if we're using better alternatives right now.

My brother in Christ, it was 2020 before my bank supported passwords longer than 8 characters. We have 30 or 40 years before we need to worry about the banks.

[–] vaultdweler13@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago (11 children)

Some banks are still running windows 98 internally, admitedly so long as said system isnt connected to the internet it should be fine.

Just use Firefox, Mozilla already put their stance forward as opposing this garbage

Firefox is faster than chrome anyway nowadays.

This is innovation though, an internet wide DRM would be quite an impressive technical feat. It's just not innovation built to benefit you and me, it's built to benefit Google's true customers, advertisers

No no, they changed their beer. I hear they added more hops to it.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Changing a beer to an IPA is actually a pretty good analogy, according to this beer lover who doesn't like overly hoppy ones..

Like, seriously, went through the last 10 years spending a good chunk of my day on Twitter and Reddit using Chrome, and suddenly I'm on Lemmy/Mastodon on Firefox.

[–] tryptaminev@feddit.de 107 points 1 year ago (4 children)

They want to implement a "feature" so websites only load for you, if your browser, OS and hardware are deemed "trustworthy" aka you load every ad and malware that the website wants to shove down your throat.

Oh God... I think I'm going to be sick. It's too easy to see how you could weaponize this against dissenters.

Don't like something about our product? Have fun being banned from the internet!

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 33 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Not even dissenters, just people in general. That's why they're likening it to DRM. Run something nonstandard on your system (ie Linux)? Get with the program. It's a continuation of "you don't own anything, use it how we want you to use it or don't use it at all."

[–] RhetoricalOrator@lemmy.world 70 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Honestly, reddits API change was an awful thing to do but my phone usage has plummeted since then. I've been trying Lemmy but it's not been an easy 1:1 replacement and I find myself not engaging or feeling so invested in conversations and content as much.

That works in my favor, though, because I really have been spending way too much time looking at screens anyway.

The rulers figured out the internet is too dangerous to their power. They thought they could control it and us, and they did for a long time, but it's not working anymore. Now they are cracking down on our ability to communicate, to prevent ideas from spreading and taking hold that they cannot tolerate.

[–] ImOnADiet@lemmygrad.ml 24 points 1 year ago (9 children)

? They’re just following the end game of capitalism, they’re trying to squeeze every last bit of profit out of the internet that they can, it has nothing to do with the internet “threatening” power, they already took care of that with all of the spying laws they passed when the internet started getting popular
