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

    You don’t think having to go through all this to stop it again next time, but it’s even harder because it can now be implemented orders of magnitude faster than before, counts as a “huge loss”?

      I almost feel like you’re deliberately trying to misunderstand me now. His third paragraph was talking about how even the option of having this in a webview is in itself an issue and I was asking about that. They are separate points.
