EFF denounces Google's WEI proposal
There were proposals for protecting against this in the WEI explainer under "Open Questions" https://github.com/RupertBenWiser/Web-Environment-Integrity/...

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.

Google engineers want to make ad-blocking (near) impossible
There are many, many, many web browsers that are not corporate-controlled. Some of my favourites lately are the Argonaut Constellation [0] – mostly because of the interesting technical decisions going in the development (particularly the CSS and the Haskell), but also because Rhapsode is already better than eSpeakNG + AT-SPI2 + Firefox.
There's also the venerable lynx, and elinks (which I reluctantly admit is better than lynx, even if I don't use it much), and Dillo+ [1] (a fork / continuation of Dillo that supports Gopher and Gemini). And could I forget NetSurf, with its graph-y history navigation? And of course, Ladybird, [2] probably the best-funded of the lot.
These are just the ones I've heard of. There are surely dozens more you'd be interested in, and thousands of little hobby projects. Why not try making your own web browser?
