Chromium, not chrome. Which means also Brave, Edge, Opera, Vivaldi and a lot more. Basically only Firefox and Safari are left as the big non-chromium ones.
But that's not the worst of it. Even if you tear out this code, more and more websites will be built that rely on it. Which means Firefox etc also need to include it to keep functioning.
If WebKit and Mozilla put up enough fight. It will not be the standard.
Isn‘t Safari‘s WebKit the origin of Chromium‘s Blink 😉
Well, you can’t say not chrome because it does include chrome, yes, it extends to other browsers using the same codebase, I understand I’m well versed. Either which way, fuck google
Not saying you don't realize, but Safari already has this tech. They call it Personal Access Tokens.
Well, that's the worst case scenario. I hope that Brave will fork Chromium and leave the WEI out. Brave prides itself on being the no nonsense browser ...
Brave is a PoS. They are not looking out for you
Sorry, what is PoS? I'm using Brave just shortly but it appears to be concerned with privacy and ad-blocking - more than what Firefox does.
E.g. Brave browser at one point in the not too distant past automatically added affiliate links to cryptocurrency URLs
