Read why "Web Environment Integrity" is terrible, and why we must vocally oppose it now. Google's latest maneuver, if we don't act to stop it, threatens our freedom to explore the Internet with browsers of our choice.

More and more people in the industry saying that Google is trying to implement it under false pretenses of making the web safer for the end user. But I guess for most it was obvious?

Almost all attempts at taking freedom away are done under the guise of increased safety.
