When you want to access a website, the server will ask your browser “Is the user’s environment good for me to show my website?” and will only provide you the website if your browser agrees. What this essentially means is that ad blocking or any other scripting on your side could make your browser say “No, there’s some fuckery going on” and you would no longer be served the page.

It’s like going to a restaurant but you can only order from the pre approved from Google menu that they don’t mind if you have allergies. What they mind it’s what kind of car you use to come to the restaurant.

Google is making a system to verify any given user is running a verified browser on a verified OS on verified hardware (TPM).

The first problem is that only big tech companies will be able to pass any of these verification steps. Say goodbye to your modifiable, community-driven, open source OS or browser.

The second problem is that the only software they choose to verify well be increasingly restricted. Say goodbye to your ad-blocker, because Google makes the browser and they’re the one selling the ads.

You can still an unverified browser, I suppose, but websites decide whether to let you in or not. And Google will reduce their ad revenue if they don’t “verify” their users.
