What happened?
Web Environment Integrity API, an API that will gather metadata about your system setup, hardware and software, as well as if you have any extensions installed. Only WEI compliant browsers will be able to view WEI compliant webpages.
I don't see this point anywhere in this discussion, but what speaks against spoofing it?
For real can't we just fork a browser to fake WEI?
It runs server-side, not on your browser. That said yes, I do think spoofing it server-side will eventually be how we get past this.
I don't know how this works, but in simple terms, when the server asks the Infos from the browser, can't the browser just lie? I don't understand why this is such a big deal, or am I missing something?
