We (me with a friend) created this page https://openwebdefenders.org and planning to create banners for websites that may want to inform their users on what's going on.

If anyone wants to contribute somehow or have other ideas I would be happy to discuss on https://github.com/openwebdefenders/web/issues

Do you use browsers other than the mainstream ones like Chrome or Firefox? Third-party browsers, especially those that prioritize privacy or offer unique features, might be labeled “untrusted,” limiting your browsing experience.

This suggests that firefox will be trusted, because it's mainstream, which is not true, because Mozilla won't implement WEI, and therefore malicious websites won't be able to verify "environment integrity"

Besides that, nice website and thanks for your efforts on fighting with WEI.

I am not convinced Mozilla will refuse to implement WEI when push comes to shove. Mozilla already supports Netflix playback with drm, right?

But isn’t it quite the jump from mozilla accepting drm from a service in an indistry that has invented drm to them accepting a blanket drm for the web? I think it’s kind of not guilty until proven for mozilla. They have so far (to my knowledge) not done anything very anti consumer.

I'm just saying we can't just trust Mozilla leadership will do the right thing...

[–] Haui@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah, I say we don’t run around villainizing everyone and stay with thos who fucked us over in the past. Otherwise we can trust exactly no one.

That's exactly right. Don't blindly trust anyone. Hold them accountable.
