#Google is trying to #kill the #OpenWeb.

Using the proposed "Web Environment Integrity" means websites can select on which devices (browsers) they wish to be displayed, and can refuse service to other devices. It binds client side software to a website, creating a silo'd app.

This penalizes platforms on which the preferred client side software is not available.

"With the web environment integrity API, websites will be able to request a token that attests key facts about the environment their client code is running in...
"Websites will ultimately decide if they trust the verdict returned from the attester."

Sounds like Google's next gen fingerprinting method.

"Tell us everything about your browser and computer or you can't see our web site."

My response: "Okay. Bye."
