   Turns out that Web Environment Integrity proposal everybody is getting angry about (imo very legitimately) was effectively already shipped by Apple in Safari last year: https://httptoolkit.com/blog/apple-private-access-tokens-attestation/

   That means if Chromium ships it too, we could quickly move to 90%+ of browser traffic being attested. Not good!

     This is not the same as the other attestation stuff that Google is pushing.

     Are you 1,000% sure that you can trust Google now and forever?

     Once implemented, Google's cabal will effectively own the internet, and there's no assurance we'll ever get it back. They already data mine us constantly. How much further will they go to exploit us for money?
