Chrome not proceeding with Web Integrity API deemed by many to be DRM

While WEI is thankfully cancelled, it's not entirely cancelled... They're planning on making it available still in WebViews with the intention that websites can check if a malicious Android app is trying to do a phishing scheme.

Seems like such a niche "security" feature... what are they really trying to accomplish here? Something seems fishy to me

We did it!

Specifically, everyone who's not using Chrome and its derivates did it. Use Firefox, people.

That's what Google want you to believe, forget about and step back. It's not over yet. We just stopped the first wave and it will get harder with each wave.
