I've been hearing about these for a few years now. Huge if they work out at a large scale.

Sorry for ranting lol. But it pisses me off especially when it comes from science news. Elsevier and sciencedirect is another service that blocks me, and I'm not even using a VPN or super secure browser.

Soon more and more webpages will only work with "authentic Chrome" or some shit, and block all VPNs. And then soon you'll have to log into chrome. And that will create a permanent link with your government ID. I'm just tired of this predictable evil trajectory of technology. The internet was supposed to destroy tyranny, not join it!

I hear ya, it is fucking annoying.
