…with Apple and Microsoft, Mutahar’s turn to take a look at “Web Environment Integrity”
Yesterday I saw a meme on reddit about browsers and I did not see even one person mentioning this WEI shit. Everyone was praising Chrome. We are truly fucked.
It’s because people that are about FOSS, freedom and privacy have moved to lemmy already
So reddit is definetly being astrosurfed hard isnt it?
Always has been
I have finally made the full conversion away from Google. Email, browser, search all out of their hands. The one that took the longest to happen was the browser. Firefox finally is working great for me now.
Email is tough one for me. Any recommendations? I tried Proton but their mobile app is (was?) disaster, and only limited to one logged in account at once which is a deal breaker for me.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=5joNRJ3C5ho
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
apple might oppose this to some point, they’re often not in line with google.
Apple already has their own thing for this https://httptoolkit.com/blog/apple-private-access-tokens-attestation/
The best way to oppose this is to use non-chromium browsers like Firefox and take away Google’s source of power: chromium market share
i agree, the problem is, that if google succeeds and (popular/mainstream) websites refuse to let said browsers access the sites, it’s an uphill battle in wich we will eventually lose the normie webizens.
And there’s the core problem: the proportion of people on the internet who have no idea what they’re doing has grown by orders of magnitude, and big tech has realized they can just treat and exploit them like cattle, because almost nobody has a full and complete understanding of what’s going on, or how policies driven by big tech like this are catastrophically bad for normal users on the internet.
I think they already implemented this onto Safari
