Trusted computing is about companies not trusting the user. The steps will be that websites can verify official browser builds. Then a website can demand a certain browser, e.g., official Chrome or official Firefox, but no Chromium, no Firefox builds by Linux distributions or yourself. Next the browsers offer APIs like "detect if adblock is installed" (Chrome much more likely than Firefox) and you cannot modify the browser to lie to websites.
Also trusted computing needs a whole chain of "We don't trust you" technology. Have a look at widevine at the highest trust level. You need secure boot, a recent CPU with an integrated TPM and at least Windows 10. No chance with Linux. Android only works if it is not rooted because when safetynet fails, apps like netflix will not show you videos.
Trusted Computing is the way to close down computer ecosystems and let vendors dictatate what you can do and prevent you from tampering with (parts of) the system. It takes away our freedom.
