Want ads? Because this is how you get ads. And not just ads, but targeted tracking and surveillance. Google wants to embed DRM in the entire web, and control it! They would be the ones who attest to what can be seen, and more to the point - What YOU see, or what THEY think you should see. Make no mistake, Google is an advertising company and this would crush all alternate and independent sites and content. Comply or never be seen again. This is purely an arrogant move to increase profits. Google doesn’t want to save you from ads. This is a power grab to force you to see only their ads. And it’s already being pushed into Chromium. What can you do? Get involved and voice your concern.

Donate to organisations like Mozilla and EFF who will likely take this on if asked.

Use Firefox, Librewolf, Mullvad browser or something not based on Chromium.

Stop using Google products. Stop giving them any data to sell about you. Protest by withholding $. It will effect Chrome, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi and any thing based on Chromium. Here’s more information.

    All you need to do is look at all the 1-star reviews to see it doesn’t function like Vivaldi stacking.
