You WILL use chrome, and you WILL watch the ads!
qwerty, I’ll torrent YT videos before I watch ads.
ManjuuLemmy, Sorry, a little bit OOTL. I remember about Chrome making adblock-blockers. But could someone explain the relation to youTube?
Spudwart, YouTube has ads and google’s new WEI api will force browsers to comply.
Web Environment Integrity (WEI) is an api that will validate your browser and hardware to ensure you’re not tampering with webpages in any meaningful way.
extensions and unapproved browsers will be gutted.
Bulletdust, I never stopped using Firefox, and I never had a problem with anything but Government sites.
jannis, That’s weird, usually government websites will work in old IE version without any issue.
Bulletdust, I think it’s a Java thing?
ddkman, Exactly. Usually gov sites are optimised for i.e 8, because accessibility is critical.
You can’t just expect people have a super up to date browser.
This is the mentality where I live anyway.
Agent641, How many verification cans have you had to drink today sir?
Enkers, OK, move along. It’s an old reference, but it’s built on solid greentext.
nol, Those greedy bastards push people to watch ads like they expect their companies’ income will grow infinitely
Draegur, or nah, just use piped on firefox :3

kemsat, YouTube Premium y’all.
owiseedoubleyou, Lmao, imagine actually paying for youtube premium
kemsat, Yeah, imagine it. It’s pretty nice.
ComradeR, Both YouTube and Chrome are bloatwares in my Samsung smartphone. I happily use NewPipe!
B3_CHAD, 
More like “you will use chromium and you will watch ads.”
Spudwart, Google has learned Embrace Extend Extinguish.
They’re game plan is to kill their competition in the long run.
Holzkohlen, 
I’d rather drink a verification can and do a little dance.

What’s going on with Chrome? Can’t find news about it
danielton, 
The TLDR is that Google is implementing DRM into Chrome that will cause sites to only work on validated Chromium-based browser installations and operating systems.
jelloeater85, 
So… Don’t Be evil?
TrustingZebra, I don’t know if this is widespread, but I started getting video ads on YouTube while using Chrome, despite having uBlock Origin. Firefox + uBlock Origin still works great though!
