Just don't use the services that do this

Once entities like tax authorities require it for filing your taxes (or any other thing you absolutely have to do), that's not really an option any more.

Unfortunately not a feasible solution. If the vast majority of websites support this, any sort of OSS solution is dead to the average user.

I use Youtube a lot on Librewolf, which probably isn't going to be very trusted.. Hoping i don't get booted off of sites i usually use like YT. It was time to switch to Invidious anyway.

Which will stop working once this is implemented, since it doesn't use a trusted browser to access YT. As will any kind of automated access. Search engine bots, archive crawlers, third party apps... anything websites don't like or know won't be able to access them anymore.
