StrypeyGoggle's "Web Integrity" project has been widely condemned as a trojan horse for bringing DRM crippleware to the web. The battle against it has been won.

Honestly, I always wonder how they think they could possibly implement something like this? Do they think no one in the tech world will notice and not resist something like this? Do they think this would just result in a 100% conversion rate and every single person would uinstall <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Firefox</a> and <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Chrome" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Chrome</a> would be the <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Netscape" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Netscape</a> of 2023?
