Chrome has one of the most transparent, pre-declared software delivery models on the planet.
This does sort of seem like the system is working as intended here. Give people enormous power, but do so in a transparent clear way with lots of review. Rather than a top down organization, this bottom up engineering allows in a lot more potential.
And some of the potential is bad. Do we the technical masses trust in the process, in the various discussions & checks built in to the w3c system? How much is our hunger for attention & excitement & drama fueling a mania, a craziness? 0? Maybe a tiny bit? Or is there real harm to the media cycle blow up beyond proportions to every potentially salacious idea that shows up on radar?
Like Alex, this was a huge deal. A huge issue. But it seemed unlikely to get far as a standard, and had barely begun review cycles, just getting some standards positions, not even getting TAG or security review requests started.

I really like Chrome's model, how proactive & transparent they are, so early. In contrast, most web vendors just ship stuff. Safari just shipped Private Access Tokens, which are Web Environment Integrity, in different name. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36866355 https://www.snellman.net/blog/archive/2023-07-25-web-integri...
