Been hearing about how Google wants to DRM the web lately and basically destroy the free and open internet. Can someone please explain how this will destroy the web? I’m not a expert on computers so I need someone to explain what this will do for all of us.

Google Chrome is used by over 70% of internet users.
It is even the basis of browsers such as Microsoft Edge.
Google have created a system to verify what software is being used in other words disallow people if they are not running the software that the site owner wants.
Wrong browser – blocked
Unwanted extensions – blocked
Competitors software – advertising to switch
The Google argument is that such systems already exist on both iOS and android and this is extending it to the web (well chrome) but if this takes off and you dont use a chromium based browser get ready to not use some internet services.
