CHROME (google) is planing to implement DRM (kinda) into their browser
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
looks like rendering adblockers extensions obsolete with manifest-v3 was not enough so now they try to implement DRM into the browser giving the ability to any website to refuse traffic to you if you don't run a complaint browser ( cough...firefox )
here is an article in hacker news since i'm sure they can explain this to you better than i.
and also some github docs

Found this in the source code, lol
The free web will never escape trackers…
You're not wrong but i don't think this has anything to do with being free. If companies want to track you, they will (except for those whosr business model is privacy maybe). Regardless of how much you pay them.
I read this with Samuel L. Jackson's voice and it sounds motherfucking cool
this is gold, thank you

Why did we stray from the path of good and mess with JavaScript?
Serious answer: because we wanted interactive sites (ajax it used to be called, iirc), like most online shopping.
Less serious answer: indeed, what do we even need javascript for when we have
marqueeandblinktags?JavaScript if done right can transform a website into something greater, like a game for instance. But excessive JavaScript on an article website can go to hell.
