It's a reminder that what a monopolist thinks of as "security" isn't what you think of as security. Oftentimes, *their* security is antithetical to *your* security. That was the case with #WebEnvironmentIntegrity, a plan by Google to make your phone rat you out to advertisers' servers, revealing any adblocking modifications you might have installed so that ad-serving companies could refuse to talk to you:
A web server has zero (say it with me, “zero”) right to compel any client to reveal information about itself.
Unless we inscribe this as a fundamental and immutable tenet of the web, the web as we know it will cease to exist once some version of Google’s Web Environment Integrity proposal makes it past the corporate lackeys at the W3C.
