While WEI is thankfully cancelled, it's not entirely cancelled... They're planning on making it available still in WebViews with the intention that websites can check if a malicious Android app is trying to do a phishing scheme.

Seems like such a niche "security" feature... what are they really trying to accomplish here? Something seems fishy to me

Sure it isn't. * Wink wink nudge nudge*

It'll be back. With a different name and modified messaging.

That probably would've been true even if they did follow through.
