looks like rendering adblockers extensions obsolete with manifest-v3 was not enough so now they try to implement DRM into the browser giving the ability to any website to refuse traffic to you if you don't run a complaint browser ( cough...firefox )

here is an article in hacker news since i'm sure they can explain this to you better than i.

and also some github docs

Hope you never need to read the news, access your bank account, or buy anything online then.

If my non us bank forces me to use Chrome in order to access my account online, they're gonna get a call from me
