The Chrome team says they're not going to pursue Web Integrity but...

it is piloting a new Android WebView Media Integrity API that’s “narrowly scoped, and only targets WebViews embedded in apps.”

They say its because the team "heard your feedback." I'm sure that's true, and I can wildly speculate that all the current anti-trust attention was a factor too.

Moving it to WebView just makes it a Trojan horse for the rest of the web.

Isn't Webview just a proprietary Android thingy? I still don't like it, but that sounds pretty isolated to me.

I think Android WebView is open source as part of AOSP, but yes, it is Android only.
