Google’s Plan to DRM the Web Goes Against Everything Google Once Stood For
Point me to anything which would give websites access to that information via WEI. There is nothing. I have seen nothing except FUD. Aside from that, this only attests for the device. Ad-blockers can be external. This does nothing for external ad-blockers.
Explicit non-goals for WEI:
"Enforce or interfere with browser functionality, including plugins and extensions."

With merge of this pull request, Brave Browser disables WebEnvironmentIntegrity
That also applies to Javascript, or being forced to use some form of an up-to-date browser. What is different with WEI?
I didn't see many people debating the actual text of the WEI explainer[0] on the HN posts about WEI, and that's probably because they were links to articles about WEI. The HN post for the explainer with the most upvotes only has 89[1], likely because most of HN treats the upvote as "I agree/like this" instead of "boost this topic for discussion".

Adtech is built on a privacy fault line
> If you don't want my browser to render content as it sees fit, don't serve the content over a protocol where that dynamic is inherent.
to play the devil's advocate, this is why google proposed the WEI (https://github.com/RupertBenWiser/Web-Environment-Integrity/...). Be careful what you wish for...

The Right to Lie and Google’s “Web Environment Integrity”
https://github.com/RupertBenWiser/Web-Environment-Integrity/...
I stopped reading after the explainer’s intro section. The first example is making it easier for websites to sell adds (lmao) and the other 3 are extremely questionable whether if the proposed remedy even helps. And it’s presented as a benevolent alternative to browser fingerprinting, as if we must choose between these two awful choices. It’s an absolute joke of a proposal.

Caniwebview.com – Like Caniuse but for Webviews
Can I X, is a question about the readiness/compliance of a certain thing at time = now. Can I use CSS version X was the iconic early meme.
https://caniuse.com/?search=css3
For a generalized example, if you wanted to know if the basketball courts were ready for you to “ball it up” in a certain city, it’d be caniball.com
If you want to know if you can use a certain frontend technology, the idea is like: canwefigma?
It’s a glorified feature matrix, and usually a project of a passionate community. I approve, even if some of the memes are a bit dank.

Caniemail.com (like caniuse but for email content)

Time-Based CSS Animations
The article uses custom css @properties which are awesome and have 88% browser support [1].
One thing to watch out for is differences in how browsers handle setting the fallback initial-value. Chrome will use initial-value if CSS variable is undefined OR set to an invalid value. Firefox will only use initial-value if the variable is undefined. For most projects, this won't be an issue, but for a recent project, I ended up needing to use javascript to set default values in Firefox to iron out the inconsistency between browser implementations.

You forgot to mention (Web)Workers. This is explicit creation, management, and communication with additional threads within JavaScript. What's more, they've been around in JavaScript longer than the V8 engine has even existed!
