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.

Tell them that you don't own a smartphone and that you can't use their product.

Might not solve the issue in the short run, but eventually they'll hopefully realize that a desktop site is important as well.

Usually I tell them I have a right to privacy and I won't be using their product and that they need to delete my account and my data.
