Google Tries to Defend Its Web Environment Integrity as Critics Slam It as Dangerous
techreport.com
Google has defended its Web Environment Integrity on the grounds that it aims to make web browsing more private and safe through tokens.

I’m happy to see this being noticed more and more. Google wants to destroy the open web, so it’s a lot at stake.

Google basically says “Trust us”. What a joke.

    From my very basic understanding of it yes. It in effect checks what’s loaded against what was served and if there’s a discrepancy it does its thing.

    Note. If I have misunderstood please someone correct me.

      Is there anything that would prevent some kind of proxy stripper? I’m thinking something that loads the page with a clean agent, strips out the shit and serves a nice clean page?

      Definitely beyond pihole as it stands, but doable.
