Wondering if this is something that @fsf or @eff might be interested in?

This page is good but the url is too long to put on a Letter to the Editor, we think it needs to list more ethical browsers too:
https://www.defectivebydesign.org/blog/web_environment_integrity_is_an_all_out_attack_on_free_internet

What about:
defectivebydesign.org/chrome

A complete #explainer is important to get the message across. Even for technical people.

#chrome #webIntegrity #googleAbuse #advertising #DRM

What is a good site, with a short URL where a layperson can go from no understanding of #Google's nasty #WebIntegrity proposal to full or functional understanding of how it threatens the #openWeb and which suggests Firefox-based browsers but **not** Firefox, eg. #Librewolf, IceCat, #TorBrowser, Pale Moon etc?

We will boost good responses, but not CloudFlare, Amazon or other #CAGEMAFIA websites.

This is a legit challenge.

#Google’s nightmare “Web Integrity API” wants a #DRM gatekeeper for the web | #ArsTechnica

Oh, great! Seems we have a 180° turn, and we are now doing the #NetNeutrality 2.0 discussion. Honestly, I always wonder how they think they could possibly implement something like this?

Do they think no one in the tech world will notice and not resist something like this? Do they think this would just result in a 100% conversion rate and every single person would uinstall #Firefox and #Chrome would be the #Netscape of 2023?

Now I understand why they removed the dislike button from #Youtube before they pitched this idea. This is such a #Zuckerberg idea. And the worst part is, he'll probably slap his sticker on this and we'll have this argument again in 6 month's where he'll want to limit the internet to people having VR headsets and being in the #metaverse.

At least part of the reaction to #Google #WebIntegrity is that it disregards the polite fiction of #UserAgents completely. #Firefox #Brave and #Safari are being told point-blank to serve the interests of #advertisers or be kicked off Google services.

As others have pointed out #Apple has already quietly implemented similar behavior, but because it was advertised as a way to make #CAPTCHAs less annoying, nobody cared.
