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.

    I’ve been using FF (and Thunderbird) for about 5 years now on my dual core old laptop running Gentoo, and it’s always run pretty smooth. Especially when they switched to the Quantum web engine.

        I’m not arguing that people are switching to Firefox. I’m only saying that your argument about FF on Linux is just plain wrong.

        I also prefer the UI/UX of FF over Chromium based browsers, but that’s very subjective of course.
