This is scary. It's (strong) SafetyNet for websites.

Every now and then I run into another Android app I can no longer run because someone decided my phone, running an official build of my choice of OS, that isn't even rooted, is "not trustable".

Now they want to start doing that for websites.

This kills open Linux on the desktop (including Asahi Linux). It kills alternative browsers. It is a backdoor to kill ad blockers.

No. Just no. Please.

@lina "Detect non-human traffic in advertising to improve user experience and access to web content" - there's the motivation, Google are their advertisers are losing HUGE amounts of money due to this, see https://malicious.life/episode/episode-216/ and https://malicious.life/episode/episode-217/

@gurubob Agreed, although I'd say they're not losing the money, just not making as much money. It's not like they're entitled to unlimited profit at the expense of users freedom.

@krnlg yeah of course, my bad framing …. they’re not accelerating their profits as quickly as they could be. That’s a better way to frame it.
