Chrome not proceeding with Web Integrity API deemed by many to be DRM (9to5google.com)

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.

YouTube isn't suffering. Lemmy has an active userbase of just over 30K. Given the fact a lot of people have multiple accounts (I do), that's less than 30K active users.

On top of that, probably less than half of Lemmy users actually cry about YouTube.

Even if we are generous, and say the entirety of Lemmy, and each user is unique, 30K is nothing lol.
