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.

    All of that can be easily checked via JavaScript, but now if you world use extensions to disable those checks you would not pass the attestation.

    So yeah, essentially you no longer have control over your computer, and need to bend over and accept everything the site owner wishes to do.

      bend over and accept everything the site owner wishes to do.

      Including a malicious site owner’s wishes.
