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.

    I guess you missed the part about being able to “validate” plugins, entire operating systems, dns resolving etc.

    I don’t care about Googles financial problems. I don’t use their services. They can close down YouTube if they don’t have enough paying customers. Same with Google search. Bye Google. And the internet is suddenly a much better place.

      I’m going to guess half of the proposal is to waste time and distract from the minimum requirement they’re hoping to actually pass. We saw this a lot in general politics in the US: you make a bold overshooting statement while passing legislature on the side.
