2023: Google rolls out Web Environment Integrity checks into Chrome

It hasn't. WEI is only a proposal draft, for now.

It has allready been implemented in Chromium/Chrome (link). Websites only have to start using it.

Edit: see comment

That commit doesn't implement WEI; it adds some development tests for the hypothetical API, and actually adds a feature to prevent the API from even getting enabled for testing.

Websites can't start using it, because it isn't there.

Ahh, sorry my mistake. I remembered reading a headline somewhere about Google having already implemented it, but I didn't check. Thanks!
