Unpacking Google’s new “dangerous” Web-Environment-Integrity specification

https://vivaldi.com/blog/googles-new-dangerous-web-environment-integrity-spec/

Will accessibility tools that rely on automating input to the browser cause it to become untrusted? Will it affect extensions? The spec does currently specify a carveout for browser modifications and extensions, but those can make automating interactions with a website trivial. So, either the spec is useless or restrictions will eventually be applied there too.

It won't fly. Not when a popular red meat election year topic is breaking google up and one such year is just around the corner.
