    It’s a drm system, so we’re talking end to end encryption from server to display, but for evil. It’s not a spoof thing

      Even in the US, a corporate monopoly trying to force people to use their browser will trigger an antitrust lawsuit from the government. Microsoft has already faced one for what they did with Edge, and they didn’t even do DRM.

      Besides, it’s YouTube. If you can’t use it anymore, it’s not gonna be the end of the world.

        It’s not that simple, it’s not forcing everyone to use chrome, it’s denying access to copyrighted material to drmed browsers only. This is something that already happens and no one seems to want to break things up around that. Infaft they seem to legislate more for that.

        And sure today it’s youtube, but this is actually a form of drm for everything. Today youtube tomorrow everything else.

          we’re going to go back to needing “apps” for everything on desktops soon. desktop covered in shortcuts for every shitty service we need to use.

          God this passes me off
