This is just a list of antichrome rhetoric which isn't based off truths, but rather are propagated by people who hate Google.

>The "Manifest v3" sabotage of content blocking extensions:

Manifest v3 does not change anything that would sabotage content blocking extentions.

>The attempted sabotage of #JPEGXL

Chrome did not sabotage JPEGXL. The chromium team didn't think the format was worth supporting due to lack of broad interest and support costs. They recommend using a WASM based decoder if you would like to use JPEGXL.

>#WebEnvironmentIntegrity a.k.a. #DRM for whole websites would hurt the web, #opensource browsers and OSes

The current web is what you get when there is no environment integrity. The web is already hurting from bad actors. Adding signals attesting to environment integrity could help the web fight against the harms caused by bad actors. It isn't DRM either.
