I think you misunderstood me. I'm not trying to move the goalposts by suggesting "we should have a technical argument". Discussing whether the feature should even exist is itself a technical discussion.
Let's use WEI as an example. You're clear enough in your opinion: you think it shouldn't exist. Why, though? What does it do that you object to? Do you understand how it works well enough to be sure it does the bad thing you think it does? Imagine I'm interested in the discussion, but haven't formed an opinion. I just have Google on one side talking about guaranteeing the integrity of the browser environment somehow, and you saying "DO NOT WANT" on the other. You'll have a much easier time convincing me of your point of view if you can simply show me that you actually understand WEI, and if you can make me understand it too.
- userbinator 2y agoI don't care how it works. When the goal is the problem, the method is irrelevant. WEI is a problem because it takes away user's freedom to interact with sites using the software they want. It doesn't matter at all how it accomplishes that goal.
