A lot of "native" apps are just thin wrappers around web components, since it's a lot cheaper to develop.

- Wowfunhappy 3y agoOkay, thanks. So then this truly doesn't affect websites at all, it's for apps which work like websites behind the scenes, but whose content no one is ever supposed to access from within a web browser anyway. I can live with that!
- jauntywundrkind 3y agoCan you live with that? What about when your rooted, or out of date, or LineageOS phone won't be authenticated and your banking app doesn't work? Or Uber or the scooter app or the social network? What about when Google in 10 years requires some absurd personal identity verification for WEI, perhaps because xy or z union of states decides to require it? These security apparatuses are checks that nations and leagues of nations will not resist meddling with, once the hooks for control are on place.
- smoldesu 3y agoI already live with that (and life is fine).
- Wowfunhappy 3y agoThe situation with SafetyNet isn't great, it's just... not new? It's not pushing us any further down the path than where we already are, and it's not corrupting the open web (because mobile apps aren't a part of the web).
