    Will you be happy when your doctor/bank/government’s website requires it? When health or law obligates you to comply?

    This is much, much darker than just some replaceable entertainment sites being off-limits.

      There are a lot of test proctoring services that only work on chrome that are required by schools/universities too. I hate the services, but I don’t want to fail my exams, and these online tests/proctoring services are getting more and more common post-pandemic-isolation.

        Ah yes, proctoring malware. At least you can confine it in a virtual machine right now, but that won’t be the case for much longer.
