For advertising: Firefox now collects user data by default
It's all other parties, actually. I'm assuming Mozilla and friends are trusted and that the cryptography is perfect.
I've filed an issue at https://github.com/patcg-individual-drafts/ipa/issues/90 but I'm still not sure if that's the right repo.

Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome
> you don't need to worry that toggle will get mysteriously turn back on.
I will be caustious with such statement.
https://github.com/patcg-individual-drafts/ipa/
IPA now allows these companies to track users across multiple IP addresses, and regardless of the user's cookie settings, via a unique tracking identifier. It is also proposed that the operating system provides the unique tracking identifier which can then be used by all applications or browsers on a device, allowing different devices behind a single IP address to be distinguished.
Mozilla is one of the authors.

Google’s nightmare “Web Integrity API” wants a DRM gatekeeper for the web
Mozilla are proposing IPA[1] which is designed to track user interaction with ads and product marketing, and track any conversion that occurs (e.g. users end up purchasing something).
If you are shown a product ad whilst browsing searchengine.example and then later look up the product at reviews.example, then end up making a purchase at shop.example, your browser sends all of these events to an aggregation service that allows shop.example to understand (at least in aggregate, assuming you trust the cartel running the aggregation service) that you were exposed to their product at searchengine.example and further exposed to their product at reviews.example.

It's time we do a uno reverse to Web Integrity API
I think the best issue raised is: Why would I, as a user, want this?

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/...

Web Environment Integrity: Google strikes again
The Web Environment Integrity is yet another Google proposal for making the web worse for everyone but them.

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.
What are some alternatives?
