+ The Web Environment Integrity spec is a proposal by Google engineers
+ to add a mechanism to browsers that verifies them and the platform it's running on
+ to be trusted by third party (attester). This is often compared as being
+ DRM for Websites.
+
+ As an example Google Play is named as an attester for Android.
+ Of course this would enable Google to mark their own
+ Browser, Google Chrome, as trusted. Furthermore Google would be able to discourage the
+ use of Browsers that harm their business model (selling ads) like Firefox, a browser
+ that has a rich ecosystem of ad blockers and tracker protection.
+
+ On Windows Systems, Microsoft will likely play the role of the attester and
+ encourage the use of Edge. Which third would attest for a Browser to be trusted on
+ Linux distributions is not clear yet. There might be different attesters
+ being used in different distributions. More niche distros might have trouble
+ finding a third party to attest for their platform.
+
+ By implementing this spec Google is also forcing other browsers to do the same.
+ Browsers that don't implement the spec would simply not be trusted by websites
+ for demand the browser to proof it is trusted.
