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.

Many said we couldn't stop it. We, like many, applied pressure, and they backed the fuck off.

We have no room for complacency now though. Google cannot be allowed to dictate web standards. Firefox needs to eat into that Chromium market share. Never forgive. Never forget.

Hmm.

That was too easy.

That’s because this is at least their second attempt.

They are giving up on this because of bad publicity.

They’ll just rename it, rebrand it and try again.

But we'll be ready for it, and we'll keep driving against it. Even after this, Chromium is something people just need to move away from. They've motivated us, and I believe we can make dints, and will.

What worries me is that usually people tire of the fight and then the corporation wins.

Fighting this fight everywhere is exhausting.

Exactly. Big Tech grinds everybody down into accepting the new dystopian normal they want.
