I asked Google Bard whether it thought Web Environment Integrity was a good or bad idea. Surprisingly, not only did it respond that it was a bad idea, it even went on to urge Google to drop the proposal.

      Internet is just a series of tubes. You’re talking about alternative content/services providers (news, video, shopping, etc.) if the existing ones choose to require only approved browsers.

      Are you going to run your own news company?

          I don’t think it’s pedantic. It’s relevant. Web is a mess, thanks largely to Google. But we still have a lot of other protocols and the freedom to come up with new alternatives. If they figure out how to abuse the TCP/IP stack, then it’s game over. We might as well start from scratch.
