Immutability isn't a great option for obvious reasons.
Trackability would be nice though. Imagine if web data served off a domain could be dug through like a git repo. If you could see every commit and diff, and if proof of malice would be indisputable. Then, even if bad people did take over the domain, it would be detected immediately, and its reputation rating would drop so low that browsers would refuse to connect to it.
- Groxx 10y agoWell, take cryptpad. The link could define the version of the code, and the browser could enforce that it never changes. everything else is communication with the server - something you can audit, given never-changing code. Bugfixes are of course prevented, but that just means you need to bake in a "check for updates" link - there's no reason that URL needs to change, just the contents at it, which you don't need to trust like the cryptpad's pad source. How to achieve this, no idea. Or, several ideas, but nothing general enough ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
