Google, through its new Web Environment Integrity (WEI) proposal, wants to fight fraud and other issues by restricting website access to users running authorized browsers and platforms.

This proposal will limit user choice and hurt the open Web. We won't support it in Brave.

WEI is the latest Google effort to take control from users.

Google’s First Party Sets feature helps sites track; its WebBundles proposal makes it harder for you to block or filter out unwanted page content.

Google is pushing the Web in a terrible direction.

Web users deserve a browser that doesn't treat them as enemies.

Though Brave uses Chromium, we remove or disable Chromium features that harm users' privacy or convenience.

You can find a running list of these changes here: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/wiki/Deviations-from-Chromium-(features-we-disable-or-remove)

@brave I figured you would take care of this latest abomination from Google but it's always nice to see it written out. Thank you.
