    DRM for the web.

    Basically, if your browser modifies a web page in any way (such as by blocking ads, applying a theme, disabling javascript, whatever), the server would be able to detect this and deny access.

      This sound scaring, but we have been working around DRM shit since it’s invention if I recall… Should we still be alarmed?

        Yes absolutely. Your hardware has built in DRM capabilities. Modern CPUs basically have a 2nd small CPU inside that runs proprietary code and manages the primary CPU, and it also handles DRM.

        That isn’t something you can easily work around.
