Chrome not proceeding with Web Integrity API deemed by many to be DRM (9to5google.com)

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.

Yeah, sure /s.

Fuck Mozilla, really. I wouldn't go back to FF even if it was the last browser on earth, as long as it gives oxygen to Mozilla. I'd like Moz Corp. to disappear.

If Mozilla were to disappear, Chromium web engine would have a true monopoly. Seeing how bad things are getting with their almost monopoly, I'd like to help avoid that.

I do understand this feeling. It's how I felt when I first left Firefox for Chrome. I would check in every few years for about 10-15 years and see if I was still better off on Chrome, and I was. But then one time, it just wasn't the case any more. I switched back to Firefox and now Chrome feels shitty, slow, and bloated to me.
