You say:

How does this affect browser modifications and extensions?

Web Environment Integrity attests the legitimacy of the underlying hardware and software stack, it does not restrict the indicated application’s functionality: E.g. if the browser allows extensions, the user may use extensions; if a browser is modified, the modified browser can still request Web Environment Integrity attestation.

  • if the browser allows extensions -> Chrome on Android does not
  • if a browser is modified, the modified browser can still -> can, maybe, do it?
  • Also, what about devtools? Will they be banned then, too? Because there you can also easily spoof social media, remove ads, automate stuff…
  • Will you also ban automated browser testing tools, for the same reasons?

How does my need to run adnauseam fit into this brave new world? I mean it'd be terrible if more people installed it.
