that's what it does, it's called attestation.
It's being used to be able to tell bots from humans. A human will be required to run a browser with proper attestation that they're a human. It can be used for good (prevent bots from accessing the site) and bad (prevent humans from using anything but chrome).
- robertlagrant 3y agoHow does that relate to this statement: > WEI is a way to cryptographically prove to a remote website that you're really browsing it with an unmodified build of Chrome What you're saying (and what I read) appears much more general than that. It could be used to block anything but official builds of Chrome, but that doesn't mean that's what it's for.

- robertlagrant 3y agoThe thread makes this clear. I'm arguing that "You can only use chrome to view this site." is not the only use. You seem to be agreeing, but adversarially.
