The Chrome team says they’re not going to pursue Web Integrity but…

it is piloting a new Android WebView Media Integrity API that’s “narrowly scoped, and only targets WebViews embedded in apps.”

They say its because the team “heard your feedback.” I’m sure that’s true, and I can wildly speculate that all the current anti-trust attention was a factor too.

    They had some of those changes already checked into their code base. It’ll be interesting to see how much of that code comes back out.

      My money is on zero. They’ll comment it out and then turn it back on when no one is looking.

        Comment out? Nah, they’ll just put it behind a feature flag so it keeps passing the tests.
