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.

you misunderstood it tbh.
it’s supposed to be used as a way to skip bot verification if the requests are signed by a drm system which includes your unique id (coming from google account or google play id), and one of the goals of the actual proposal is keeping existing extension working AND keeping web pages working without drm.
of course i don’t want any drm in my browser, but it’s kinda already there anyway…
it will likely make the experience worse for non-drm users because they will get hit by more advanced and sensitive bot verification systems or rate limits which is kinda bad but not the end of the world.
y’all are just overreacting and spreading pure bullshit.
it’s not even supposed to be used to verify DOM elements, just that the user is using an official Chrome/Chromium browser, and is not automated.
basically it’s just SafetyNet.
it will not kill js addons.
While some of it seems reasonable the very first thing they point out is that users want to visit without paying, aka ad block. Feels like a wolf in sheeps clothing.
And the shills arrive
I don’t think it’s a good idea, but the post is extremely misleading
It has the potential to do a whole lot of bs, and once a system is in place, it’s only a matter of time until it’s going to get abused
looking at you, EU Commission
I’m pretty sure that a lot of the mad people fully understand why DRM is ostensibly needed, and also fully appreciate the implications.
