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
Pixlbabble, Dude if they make youtube accessible only through Chrome we gonna have some problems.
BloodForTheBloodGod, I’d have to stop using it. I’d even go to another service like Nebula, at that point, and pay for it.
But I am not going to start running Chrome on my home computer as a daily driver.
Silverseren, I mean, I'm using Chrome right now, but if they actually implement this and my ad blocker stops working, I'm switching to Opera or something.
Do they really expect to not lose browser users with this move?
M0oP0o, 
Hate to tell you this here but Opera is also chrome based…
To be helpful here is a list of all the browsers (according to Wikipedia anyway) that are actually just three chromes in a trench coat.

Maestro, 
Why wait? Switch to Firefox now
db2, How does it impact Chromium?
argv_minus_one, You won’t be able to use it. Only genuine Google Chrome.
