#13Doesn't matter, they've already showed their hand with how they're wiling to ignore everyone and try to push through whatever they want.

#15TFA is about more than just WEI, but it does address it directly:
> We’ve heard your feedback, and the Web Environment Integrity proposal is no longer being considered by the Chrome team. In contrast, the Android WebView Media Integrity API is narrowly scoped, and only targets WebViews embedded in apps. It simply extends existing functionality on Android devices that have Google Mobile Services (GMS) and there are no plans to offer it beyond embedded media, such as streaming video and audio, or beyond Android WebViews.
This is really great to hear, thank you Chrome team!
Is there a risk that this is one of those "shelve it for 6 months and we'll try again later" playbooks, and that already having the implementation will make it just "an expansion" of existing tech rather than "new" tech, which will make the pill easier for most people to swallow even though it gets to the same end result?

What does your heart tell you? Palladium[1] came and went and then suddenly most laptops and mobile devices have a built-in TPM today. No doubt history will repeat.

#20It’s interesting that a single googlers repository was what was being used for wei discussion instead of something more “official”.
People celebrating this aren’t realizing that it’ll probably stop api scraping via a web view back door.
