I don’t understand why others like Brave, Opera, Vivaldi…etc are silent on this big of a threat.

Glad to see them joining the protest. I hope this doesn’t get implemented.

Sure, they’re against it, but if it gets implemented by Chrome and by many major websites, they won’t have a choice but to implement it as well. Otherwise, their browser just won’t work and people will have to use Chromium browsers or nothing at all.

Honestly, they could have good grounds for an antitrust lawsuit if this API comes to pass and everyone uses Google attestation servers. It’s gardenwalling the browser space just like Microsoft was.

And what was the last successful antitrust suit? It wasn’t Microsoft. They just dragged out the trial until they had a favorable administration settle with them.

Then don’t use Google. I’m slowly but surely working towards degoogling myself. Not there quite yet, but I’m working on it.

The whole point is that non-Chromium browsers might lose functionality on a significant portion of major websites. Imagine if Amazon, Netflix, and Youtube suddenly stopped working in Firefox. How many Firefox users would tolerate that?

You are not limited to using one browser at a time. Use firefox as much as you please. You can use google if you must.

I don’t use Amazon or Netflix in the first place. Plus the FTC is going after Amazon anyways…

Your recommendation isn’t wrong, but it’s a mistake to think problems like this can be solved with a mere boycott. This absolutely requires consumer protection legislation.

Mozilla has been bullied exactly this way in the past into implementing DRM measures I believe.
Maiznieks@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I already use ff and if there’s a site that requires drm to work, i don’t care for that site. They need visitors not the other way around.
