[QUOTE="Jonny Quest, post: 1050836, member: 99434"] From your above link, this is the part that got my attention: So what happens if websites are armed with the WEI API? They’ll be able to detect if you’re running DuckDuckGo, AdGuard, or any other browser, app, or plugin they don’t like, and block you from accessing their content. In fact, implementing this API can hamstring not only privacy protection tools, but also password managers, translation tools, video players, and, in general, tools that may change the layout of the website. This can turn a huge portion of the Internet into a walled garden, accessible to only certain “whitelisted” applications. This is a big concern. [/QUOTE]
