While WEI is thankfully cancelled, it’s not entirely cancelled… They’re planning on making it available still in WebViews with the intention that websites can check if a malicious Android app is trying to do a phishing scheme.

Seems like such a niche “security” feature… what are they really trying to accomplish here? Something seems fishy to me

    @dean When they removed “Do no evil” from their company motto, it flipped the sense and then etched the opposite into marble. Google doesn’t suddenly stop being a bog monster just because someone put a daisy on it. Companies have no soul, they have no conscience, and they have no memory. They are profit seeking tentacle monsters and not seeing that is something that customers and the public have to do for themselves. Regulation strangulation, for the win.
