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.

This is exactly the kind of thing that demostrates why DRM shouldn’t be part of the web standards. It’s very existence is abuse and this use even more so.
DRM needs to be illegal.
Laws are written by the rich. Want to stop things like this, eat the rich.
Laws are written by the rich when democracy is dysfunctional.
Democracy is an illusion, especially in places like the US. There are so many abstraction layers that even if you “win” you are really poorly represented.
“Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.”
That’s if you have a democracy that even remotely works. Which in the US does not. Hell, it’s fragile even in most EU countries.
FPTP is inherently less stable that other voting systems. The more parties involved having to compromise, the more stable. Two parties ends up with red vs blue. Literally. And it’s terrible.
I think we in the UK will escape it before the US.
I feel that rather than DRM being illegal, Google and Chromium browsers having monopoly on the web is what allows these crazy ideas to have any room.
If the browser market was more evenly spread and there were more parties involved, these ideas woldn’t fly so easily.
