Google temporarily delays rollout of their DRM for Web until public attention shifts to something worse they propose that was always a smokescreen.
“The company [Google] claimed that this new API would help combat online fraud and abuse, and that it would do so in a privacy-friendly manner.”
Lied. The word is lied.
The price for privacy and freedom? Eternal Vigilance.
Google will try and try again, so stay watchful everyone.
For now.
Tech companies repeatedly float shit people don’t want to see if the reaction is mild enough to actually go through with it.
Then they either wait until it is, or mull over ways to sell this as a good idea to consumers.
It was only 5 years ago TotalBiscuit / John Bain was still railing against the initial spread of microtransactions and DLC fragmentation of games.
And now they are utterly and completely ubiquitous.
Wow… Good riddance.
But yeah I wonder if this is really the end of it.

??? No problems with Vivaldi (Chromium) nor with Midori (Gecko), Vivaldi with the own ad/tracker blocker + iFrame script installed as extension, Midory with uBO + Greasymonkey with the iFrame script. in both YT 100% clean of ads and nags.
Anyway i use more and more alternatives to YT, front-ends and desktop clients, which offer me videos in better quality, faster and without garbage and tracking.
Front-ends
Desktop
If necessary, there are also other solutions.

No such problems here in Midori, with uBO and Tampermonkey with the script, no tracking, no ads. Nothing whitelisted in YT, i even use 2 extensins more to block clickbaits in YT (Most Videos have clickbaits, where the thumbnails of the videos have nothing to do with the content) and one to avoid that YT paused the videos or playlists after a certain time (YouTube NonStop)-
What version of Firefox is it based on?
How much was that fake news rag got paid to run this bullshit…
