    I guess if you don’t know what a rootkit is it could seem like one.

      This is the calmest, most insulting thing you could have possibly said.

      Yeah. This meme makes no sense…

      Let’s avoid misinforming people please. The reality is bad enough, no need to start lying and deceiving

            Yes specially if people don’t know what a rootkit is. They’ll think “ah, so this is an example of a rootkit, it must be because it is upvoted a lot, nice meme *upvotes”

      But the meme has the right intention. Google WILL deploy a rootkit to make it make sense

              Not fully, without affecting stability

              Stock roms may not play well with microG signature spoofing :P

      While WEI definitely doesn’t qualify as a rootkit itself, any useful attester is going to require aspects of one - whether it’s a phone asserting that it hasn’t been rooted, or a PC running with approved SecureBoot and TPM keys.

      There’s no way to say this one way or the other until it’s implemented.

      However to “verify” a system from a hardware level to any decent level of accuracy would require kernel level access.

      Technically you’re correct, until you’re not.

                Why? You realize it’s an internal community here, right?

                The group is divided into people who already have Fox and people who dislike it’s features enough to use something Chromium like Brave or Vivaldi.

                No one’s changing their minds over these memes here, and we’re not getting visibility from some huge amount of people on a public forum who don’t know why chrome bad so that you can proselytize.

                At this point it’s just making me wish we had more diversity of fucking content.

              Honestly I want to look at funny memes, not be fed fud about something I’m already aware exists. It’s not even funny to look at, it’s just getting depressing.

              Edit: Apparently these memes were posted by one user, so I just blocked that user.

    I don’t think it’ll go that far. What I’m more worried about is that the spec calls for multiple attesters. So Microsoft and others might even make their own under the spec.

      Every platform that has a vested interest (e.g. is, or is a large contractor of advertising companies) will likely want in on this.

        If the choices are in or out, any company beholden to investors or shareholders won’t really have a lot of options it seems.

      It doesn’t matter if it goes short or far. This shit is DRM, and if any part of it makes it into browsers, it’s the end of the web as we know it.
