But if said website is your bank's website then you will also have to go change banks and refinance your mortgage, or give up on internet banking. And there could be lots of implications like that we haven't thought about yet. Wanna buy something using Paypal? You are shit out of luck if they get on the Google DRM train. It's looking bleak, but hopefully it'll be seen as being monopolistic if Google is the only one who chooses to implement it, and are thus seen to be abusing their market power to block websites from working properly on other browsers. If Safari and Edge also decide to implement it then we are all probably all screwed though.

I'd honestly look for an alternative financial institution that either has an app that implements whatever security they think they need or doesn't implement this DRM bullshit for their website.
