I don't understand.
There's loads of people for whom 3 or 4 sites make up 99% of "the web", and those sites will just stop working for people using browsers without WEI support.
I just don't really see how a browser could be viable in the future without WEI support.
And that's exactly the point. WEI makes it a world where big tech decides if they are going to support a competing browser, a competing operating system like Linux, or plugins against ads. They can also force you to have any number of plugins installed, from their choosing.
It destroys the free web completely.
Yes but why is eich saying this? It would be the end of brave surely.
No it won't. It'll just fork the internet.
Genuinely not sure if you're joking. Brave people are... difficult to understand.
