With Google’s proposed DRM / Web Environment Integrity project looming, will there be any change to PG’s recommended browsers?

I’m sure it’s on everyone’s radar, but this seems like the absolute antithesis of privacy. There will be nothing private about anything chromium-based if this goes through…

    Is it a privacy issue tho? It’s dangerous to the freedom of the internet and an ethical dilemma. But how does it increase tracking potential?

      The project would only allow “verified” web browsers. This means that the only web browsers you can use are the ones that Google has allowed: owned by big companies. It would prevent smaller, privacy friendly web browsers from being a part of the internet.

      Not unless websites require certain features to be visible, that’s the major concern.
