I’ve actually looked at the papers published, and I don’t even understand how what they’re proposing could possibly cause adblock removal. Web Environment Integrity happens at a layer before things like adblock even loads. They’re completely independent processes. So the whole thing feels like misdirected fear imo.
So… to answer your question. Never.
You should fear though. This will give Google unprecedented control over the internet. Just not fear for adblock.
I don’t think post is talking about Web Environment Integrity. I instead think that it’s talking about Manifest v3 as the Chrome web store now blocks Manifest v2 extensions from being submitted - with support expected to be removed from Chrome in 2024.
When is it actually happening? Like, do we have a date?
