    Google is actually shipping WEI in Chrome

    Is this confirmed? Last I saw, it was still a proposal on github.

      They ignored the objections to the proposal, pushed it directly into their tree and it’s already live. I’ve had the prompt to enable it just today.

      Yeah, they pushed it in chrome very soon after the proposal made the rounds

      It’s pretty telling seeing as it happened so fast it must’ve predated the proposal. The proposal was super vague - if you take it (and their statements) at face value, this was a nebulous idea with none of the details ironed out.

      And then like a week later, they push this update that would lock people out of sites? No way in hell they didn’t test the crap out of this.

      Nah, this is definitely being done in bad faith.
