       the whole "Web Environment Integrity" thing is trending, but there are a bunch of other in-browser advertising+tracking features in Google Chrome that have somehow gotten a lot less attention.See list in Annex 1, here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/62052c6a8fa8f510a204374a/100222_Appendix_1A_Google_s_final_commitments.pdf

       the point of having "integrity" in a general-purpose browser is to require the use of in-browser ad features in an unmodified state. Without "integrity" you could tweak your browser to protect yourself from discrimination and finagle the ads in other ways (some would block ads entirely, I would tweak my info to get more ads for ecotourism and boating, fewer for ointment)

       fwiw they could break out the system integrity checking into a separate tool, so admins could lock down their company-owned client systems without adding overhead+risks to people's personal browsers. Corporate IT depts. that use Google Chrome would probably prefer to do it this way anywayhttps://github.com/RupertBenWiser/Web-Environment-Integrity/issues/137
