I think we need all support we can get to fight Google on this, so I welcome Brave here actually.

Isn't this just marketing? Brave and Vivaldi they already need to spoof chrome user agent or they get blocked in too many websites "you need chrome to enter"

If for example YouTube requires this scummy web attestation then they can say "only supported browsers can login" and there will be no choice because chrome is the biggest share

Yeah. I don't really see how a browser could just refuse to implement this. The few sites that make up 99% of the web for most people would just stop working.
