Chrome not proceeding with Web Integrity API deemed by many to be DRM - eviltoast

The Chrome team says they’re not going to pursue Web Integrity but…

it is piloting a new Android WebView Media Integrity API that’s “narrowly scoped, and only targets WebViews embedded in apps.”

They say its because the team “heard your feedback.” I’m sure that’s true, and I can wildly speculate that all the current anti-trust attention was a factor too.

    Personally, I can’t imagine what is on YouTub that’s worth watching. I don’t know, I haven’t used it in ages.

        VSauce2 is so weird. His topics are interesting and research behind the vids is done well, but the presentation is, well, not for me. Too many jump cuts and “reveals”.

      I think that’s unfair, there is so much content there and so many content creators that saying there is nothing worth watching just comes out as snobbish.

      The sheer variety is the key to YouTube’s dominant position. Whatever subject you want to watch something about, there’s a very good chance you’ll find it.

      I can’t speak for your particular interests, but in my experience there is something for pretty much every niche. That’s what keeps YouTube in their dominant position as well.
