Oh boy, it’s happening. Google is flexing it’s muscles and abusing it’s market position. It has never been a better way to convince and support family and friends in moving across to Firefox, a fast and privacy supporting browser.

Yes, I wrote a comment here on it but there’s some more technical explanations on other comments on this post

tl;dr: it’s basically DRM but for websites, also serves as adblocker/trackerblocker prevention that can’t be bypassed.
It’s up to the individual websites to use it or not, any websites I would use probably wouldn’t use it. Hopefully the only website I need to access that is not FOSS, my mobile banking website, won’t use it.
I fear it’ll start with banking and streaming and eventually get rolled out. I fear if we don’t block this at the start, it will eventually keep rolling. It’ll be like a snowball rolling down hill, we need to stop it getting on to the slope.
I’m going to be really pissed if US banks implement this for “security” but still won’t implement TOTP 2FA.
