And since you won’t be able to modify web pages, it will also mean the end of customization, either for looks (ie. DarkReader, Stylus), conveniance (ie. Tampermonkey) or accessibility.

The community feedback is… interesting to say the least.

    Haha

    This in a world where people have barely figured out that TLS1.0 isn’t really TLS at all.

    A complex product the consumer doesn’t
    understand and doesn’t help is doomed to failure.

    Imagine an ad driven site reducing its visitor count so it can sell its ads for less to fewer people?

    while people with no adblocker at all are rejected, resulting in irate Facebook posts, people with trusted adblockers continue on as before.

    This is great! HAHAHA.

      I imagine the user experience would be just that “our site only works with Chrome”.

      And then Google could close the loop with requiring such requirements for Google Ads integration.

        Here is the thing—say you do that. Then your advertisers call you and complain they can’t see their ads from their iPhone….and drop their ad campaign.
