And since you won’t be able to modify web pages, it will also mean the end of customization, either for looks (ie. DarkReader, Stylus), conveniance (ie. Tampermonkey) or accessibility.
The community feedback is… interesting to say the least.
Doesn’t help for things like YouTube ads or the like where the ads are delivered from the same domain. Also the attester may not validate your environment as safe. I didn’t do s deep deep dive into what may be part of the attestation, but resolution of various domains (or ensuring they return some specific value) could easily make it’s way in if they wanted.
This is speculation. DNS is a tool enterprise uses to manage networks. It’s unlikely that Google will upend this so ads can be watched.
There’s a risk that IT departments nationwide would just deploy Edge or Firefox instead of Chrome to retain the ability to manage and secure networks. This is not what Google wants.
They literally already do this with YouTube ads, what are you talking about? This is a thing that already happens.
Edit: there are already sites I can’t visit due to work blocking some domains and those sites have the “disable your ad blocker” with no way to say no thanks. It isn’t google that will break it. It’ll be an attester and it’ll be the site that chooses that attester.
