    I am once again asking users to consider the eventual abandonment of web browsers. It is too big and complex for competition to actually create new ones, so this was inevitable.

    [No offense intended to those working on important changes in forks, just saying proportionally it’s only a minor diff, no?]

        I’m probably going to use this as a motivation to finally implement serious Digital Minimalism, and just stop using websites that force me to use it.

        Banking will be the biggest problem, but other than that, I don’t really need to spend my time on the internet. And this kind of DRM infuriates me so much, that I might just get a life just out of spite.

          You can always just go into a branch to do your banking. Less convenient, sure, but paying with cash is another way to avoid intrusive surveillance capitalism.

        If the site is more complex than displaying raw text and links (to download files, and other pages), yes.
