It's still a proposal. Nothing concrete yet. But from the looks of it, you can't play such games since it's cryptographically verified.
First they established a new standard for extensions that makes it harder for adblockers to work in chrome, that's manifest v3.
And now they want establish cryptographic verification of the environment so that you can't have a custom environment in your browser, like having adblockers. Similar to how DRM works.
As long as average Joe uses chrome, we're doomed.
This is the first time I ever hear of Usenet... read a little... but honestly sounds freakishly scary... torrents are anyway filled with malware... and now we have to trust a centralized source for files?
Do clients that use Usenet verify public torrent file hashes? How is security handled such that I know the files aren't infected compared to whatever the same torrent offers?
