    Google can’t make websites update.

    Websites will only update to Chrome specific things if Chrome is the dominant browser.

    How do you stop Chrome being the dominant browser? By not using it.

      Google can make websites that use its advertising platform support attestation. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s their plan.

      It’s not going to be that simple. CDNs like Cloudflare are already on board with this, and Safari built a similar feature last year (and virtually no one noticed or cared). This horse has already left the barn and I’m not sure there’s anything we can do at this point.

      EDIT - Oh and I didn’t think of this but Google absolutely CAN make websites update. “We’ll improve your SEO ranking if you support this new feature”. They’ve done this before and they’ll do it again.

        Best case might be if we could get EU to ban it.
