And since you won’t be able to modify web pages, it will also mean the end of customization, either for looks (ie. DarkReader, Stylus), conveniance (ie. Tampermonkey) or accessibility.

The community feedback is… interesting to say the least.

    If you don’t want to see ads, pay for the services or use services that do not force you to download unwanted data (ads) on your computer. It’s that simple.

          Yes, but my point is: even when you’re a paying customer, companies will still try to track you.

          Another example: TV streaming service Molotov won’t work if you block tracking, even though you are subscribed!

            As i said, if it bothers you, don’t use their services. Buy using their services and paying for it you are encouraging them even more. And trust me, at the end of they you don’t need TV and you don’t need google to live a happy life.

              Man, we just had a scandal about Facebook tracking on the IRS website. You don’t need TV to live your life, but you definitely need to file your taxes and do stuff on the Internet to live a happy life.

              “Vote with your wallet” is neoliberal bullshit. Just check recent FAANG acquisitions to verify that.

                As you say, it was a scandel and i guess it is not longer beeing made on the IRS website?

                What are the recent FAANG acquisitions you are talking about?
