    This might sound silly but assuming you are using firefox or even safari how will this proposal affect these browsers. Only thing I can currently think of is banking sites (on android) would force you to use chrome and check play integrity (safteynet) to block acess.

    At the end of the day won’t this only affect people using Google chrome? (Forks of chrome, firefox, safari could by pass the issue)?

    Sorry if I seem a bit ignorant

      Firefox could always spoof the standard to maintain compatibility.

        If it could be spoofed easily, wouldn’t that defeat the point?

        I mean you can’t just “spoof” a ssl cert or private ssh key, I have to assume this is at least that good.

      Mozilla is working on their own v3, without a lot of the restrictions Google has added. I think you can already try out the relevant mode in Firefox.

      Yeah, as far as i understand, the browser needs to support the API. But firefox will implement it nonetheless after some protest, or no money from Google anymore.
