While WEI is thankfully cancelled, it’s not entirely cancelled… They’re planning on making it available still in WebViews with the intention that websites can check if a malicious Android app is trying to do a phishing scheme.

Seems like such a niche “security” feature… what are they really trying to accomplish here? Something seems fishy to me

      No; it is a big deal.

      They will bide their time and polish the feature out on Android WebViews then make another push for Desktop.

      You must never agree to allow WEI exist in any form. It WILL BE MISUSED AND ABUSED!
