It is not difficult to imagine that freedom disappearing soon, under the veil of security. It will not be long before Google's remote attestation becomes commonplace, and then it won't be long until the websites you care about start using it and excluding unsigned browsers. The wheels are in motion already and AI is going to speed this all up: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/07/googles-new-remote-attestation-scheme-every-bit-terrible-its-old-remote https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/07/googles-new-remote-att...
- kklisura 3mo agoExactly! Thank you!
- lII1lIlI11ll 3mo ago"Exactly" what? That by "don't let me" you meant "maybe sorta kinda woulda not let me do that in the future and I can't be halfassed to install FireFox"?
- lII1lIlI11ll 3mo agoWhy won't FF and Safari be signed?
- phpnode 3mo agoI'm sure they will, but any user extension that interferes with the DOM (as an adblocker does) will break remote attestation, so the website will reject your request.
- lII1lIlI11ll 3mo agoI haven't seen any browser attestation proposals prescribing that and I don't see any reason for Mozilla and Apple to support that. Care to provide references?
