Web Environment Integrity

+

+ 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. +
