Chromium derivatives like Vivaldi and Brave decried the Google Web Environment Integrity… um, ‘feature’, at varying volumes, back in the summer when it became widely known.
But can any Chromium-based browser actually avoid implementing this? Have there been more recent statements?
The best thing you can do is make Chromium’s market share go down and Firefox’s go up.
Every website you visit knows your browser. It’s a relatively easy stat for them to track.
That’s not what OP aksed.
Yes, theoretically it’s possible, but it’s not likely to help. Along with Firefox users, you’ll slowly find yourself locked out of more and more websites over time, unless you agree to their DRM.
Using Firefox sends a different use agent that shows websites that if they implement this, it’ll break their site for X% of the market. If X is 5%, they’ll do it. If X is 50%, they probably won’t.
If this happens, we’ll be one large step closer to “Please drink a verification can.”
