Mozilla’s position on WEI is pretty solid.

    I’m not saying you’re wrong or that Web Environment Integrity is a good thing, but a primary source and citation is needed for this statement:

    It enforces the original markup and code from a server to be the markup and code that the browser interprets and executes, preventing any post-loading modifications.

      Read between the lines, dude. Ad blockers work by observing and analyzing the DOM for elements presenting or containing ads and subsequently removing or obscuring those elements by manipulating the DOM. There’s no way for WEI to carry out its purported goals without forcibly preventing DOM manipulation.

      There are absolutely no conceivable benefits for users. None.
