Chromium derivatives like Vivaldi and Brave decried the Google Web Environment Integrity… um, ‘feature’, at varying volumes, back in the summer when it became widely known.

But can any Chromium-based browser actually avoid implementing this? Have there been more recent statements?

    Agree with your overall argument, examples used can be personally irrelevant tho.

      They’re not irrelevant.

      You, personally, may not use those websites, but of course you realise that you’re a small minority. Browsers find it hard enough to earn market share as it is, reducing their available market by 99.9% is going to make them non-viable.

      So while you might not use those sites they’re very relevant to a browser’s choice of whether to support WEI.
