    Browser attestation is a massive, unconditionally unforgivable invasion of privacy, for the exclusive purpose of strengthening Google’s monopoly on the internet.

    There’s no possible scenario you could contrive where there’s even .00000001% good faith mixed in with the bad, because if even that little was there, you would never consider implementing it.

      > massive, unconditionally unforgivable invasion of privacy

      Have you tried taking a proctored test? The kind where you have to install proctoring software which takes 100% control of your PC, requires you keeping your webcam and mic open, show it around your room, stay in frame all the time, and not look away too many times in case the proctor fails you for potentially cheating from off-screen materials?

      The unforgivable invasion of privacy is already here, has been for a long time, and it didn’t come from Google.
