The Chrome team says they’re not going to pursue Web Integrity but…

it is piloting a new Android WebView Media Integrity API that’s “narrowly scoped, and only targets WebViews embedded in apps.”

They say its because the team “heard your feedback.” I’m sure that’s true, and I can wildly speculate that all the current anti-trust attention was a factor too.

I was born a decade after Netscape navigator was launched. I’m legally an adult. Wow, you’re old!

What shall I say? The first browser I ever used was called “Arena” and it ran on a UNIX system because Windows back then didn’t even have (native) networking - you had to purchase TCP/IP for it from third parties back then.

And one of the first websites I visited was “the original one” on Tim Barners-Lee’s NEXT cube in CERN.

And guess what - there was a network way before the Web. We had chat, “social media” before it was called that, and played online multiplayer games. All without any spam or advertising.

Wow, this is kinda like witnessing the moon landing live, right? That’s amazing!

Interesting… Which chat server was this? And what year approximately?
