    Every single comment or issue about this gets instantly shut down by Google. They evidently decided to force it through before anyone even got wind of the proposal. This is a power grab for total control of the web and the browser market.

      They’ve acted like this before : Manifest V3 and JPEG-XL. Legit think they own the web.

      Edit : Granted, they have pushed back MV3 a lot of times because of the backlash (3-4? I lost count?). Hopefully, the backlash stops this DRM.
