I'm on Windows and it's never hindered me when I needed to go download something that would make a studio exec cry. Granted, I use Firefox, but I'm not sure what Chrome would do differently - it's just a matter of clicking links that get sent off to qBittorrent to handle. What "big brothering" do they do?

Google is implementing a new scheme that verifies your browser (correct DRM, etc.) and sites won’t allow access without it.

Basically you have to have Chrome and without extensions they don’t like.

I'm preeeeetty sure that the Pirate Bay isn't going to implement that scheme.
