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.

    Here’s hoping that happens, but it still won’t fix two things: Firefox is kinda weird and clumsy on mobile, and it’ll still need attestation if that’s implemented on key websites as a hard-barrier to usage. I’m now on Android (I alternate between the two, so next cycle will be Apple), and even as a highly technical type I don’t sideload on there anyway, so I think few will sideload on iOS either.
