    They are still going to pursue it, just under a different name and rolling-out timeline. What they changed is only the way they are announcing it publicly.

    It’s going to be “DRM for the Web, but with extra steps”.

      Lets call it what it is, googles attempt to create a situation in which they can ban all competition and establish a global monopoly.

      ??? No problems with Vivaldi (Chromium) nor with Midori (Gecko), Vivaldi with the own ad/tracker blocker + iFrame script installed as extension, Midory with uBO + Greasymonkey with the iFrame script. in both YT 100% clean of ads and nags.

      Anyway i use more and more alternatives to YT, front-ends and desktop clients, which offer me videos in better quality, faster and without garbage and tracking.

      Front-ends

      Desktop

      If necessary, there are also other solutions.
