Google Tries to Defend Its Web Environment Integrity as Critics Slam It as Dangerous
techreport.com
Google has defended its Web Environment Integrity on the grounds that it aims to make web browsing more private and safe through tokens.

I’m happy to see this being noticed more and more. Google wants to destroy the open web, so it’s a lot at stake.

Google basically says “Trust us”. What a joke.

    Unless Google are planning to completely lock the browser down to prevent user scripting and all extensions

    Ding ding ding!

        Through the soon to be “Google WebTest, the WEI compliant test suite, powered by AI!”

        Or something like that. Selling the antidote for the poison you created.

      It doesn’t actually prevent anything because you can just use a different browser.

        Remember those “Please use a supported browser” messages websites had?

        With Web Environment Integrity they’ll be back, and worse.
