I’m happy to see this being noticed more and more. Google wants to destroy the open web, so it’s a lot at stake.
Google basically says “Trust us”. What a joke.

While you are at it, convince Apple to allow Firefox on iOS, and decline to use WEI in Safari. Otherwise there’s no way to avoid WEI on iPhone, and only one mainstream rendering engine free of this insidious malware. Many companies will shy away from it if it breaks mobile apps on the Apple platform.
I think with the possibility of sidloading apps, Apple in Eu will have Firefox
Here’s hoping that happens, but it still won’t fix two things: Firefox is kinda weird and clumsy on mobile, and it’ll still need attestation if that’s implemented on key websites as a hard-barrier to usage. I’m now on Android (I alternate between the two, so next cycle will be Apple), and even as a highly technical type I don’t sideload on there anyway, so I think few will sideload on iOS either.
Vote with your wallet. Corporations only understand money. If users leave because they are not getting what they want, they’ll get what they want.
On mobile web in iOS browsers, they’ll just do the old “install our app to continue” move.
Probably, which gives more ways to collect data and still uses WebKit underneath.
