Chromium derivatives like Vivaldi and Brave decried the Google Web Environment Integrity… um, ‘feature’, at varying volumes, back in the summer when it became widely known.

But can any Chromium-based browser actually avoid implementing this? Have there been more recent statements?

    They’re not irrelevant.

    You, personally, may not use those websites, but of course you realise that you’re a small minority. Browsers find it hard enough to earn market share as it is, reducing their available market by 99.9% is going to make them non-viable.

    So while you might not use those sites they’re very relevant to a browser’s choice of whether to support WEI.
