Read why "Web Environment Integrity" is terrible, and why we must vocally oppose it now. Google's latest maneuver, if we don't act to stop it, threatens our freedom to explore the Internet with browsers of our choice.

There's something no one seems to be talking about
this isn't limited to your browser
It runs at the highest ring of security on your processor. It could mean it locks you to OEM Android, iOS, or Windows. It could be extended to look at your app list, dns settings, potentially even tell if the device is using a vpn
it could be paired with kosa to use biometrics to verify identity
And it would be shocking if cloudflare didn't implement this - it would save them a ton of processing. It's likely it would be a default setting - this would apply to large swaths of the Internet, not just Google services
Then we'll have to write our own chips and design our own hardware. Which is surprisingly easier than it sounds.
Designing hardware is easy. How are you going to mass produce it now?
Gain wealth and use that wealth to build a chip factory. If Intel can do it in Phoenix, so can we.
Hopefully this can be stopped and we must make sure cloudflare does not implement this!
