While WEI is thankfully cancelled, it’s not entirely cancelled… They’re planning on making it available still in WebViews with the intention that websites can check if a malicious Android app is trying to do a phishing scheme.

Seems like such a niche “security” feature… what are they really trying to accomplish here? Something seems fishy to me

    The same can be said about WEI on browsers. Just wait till it becomes a problem - only problem is that you won’t be able to escape it at that point.

      Except websites can’t just communicate directly with the OS like they can in webviews
