I don't see how getting rid of ad blocking would help Google. The people that know tech enough to always install Adblock first thing when installing a browser will just jump to the next browser.

And the people that don't know tech enough to do that wouldn't have used Adblock either way.

They're losing out on a much larger userbase (People that know tech) in the hopes of keeping the subset of that userbase that knows their way around tech but doesn't care if adblock is installed or not and making them 'pay' by watching ads.

That would at least be my opinion if that's what's actually happening, because I personally didn't gaf about these news until now and I only read the text from the meme. And quite honestly, I'll continue not giving af in the future.

And in comes Google's 'DRM for websites' plan to force you to use a chrome based browser. Sure, the websites still would need to opt in to integrity API, but how many will turn down guaranteed ads and tracking.

So I use adblockers, my wife does not. Regardless of the ads, we both switched from Chrome to Firefox this year solely due to the memory usage.

So I switched to Firefox for privacy reasons but fuck if it isn't buggy as hell on my old phone. I'm keeping it, but it's a huge reduction in usability compared to Chrome.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=0i0Ho-x7s_U

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

I recommend a DNS-based ad blocker like NextDNS. Works on everything, everywhere!

Not on Reddit or YouTube or anything else that serves ads from the same domain.

Like when YouTube introduced ads and everyone moved to Vimeo?

I just made the switch days ago, couldn't be happier. Google can suck it.

Still find it crazy when one company decides the internet's fate and seems to act like they own the internet, simply because they have a huge ass market for the browser, search engine & site crawler.
