1 year agoI don’t understand. Isn’t someone just going to fork Chromium, take out this stuff, put in something that spoofs the DRM to the sites so that adblocking still works?
I don’t really understand how that’s possible. The browser gets a token from the third party, and passes that token to the server to “prove” it’s running the DRM. The server then passes code back to the browser. At that point, why can’t the browser just cut out the DOM elements which are ads?
I don’t understand how code I write on hardware I run locally can ever have it’s hands tied like this.
