It is, but they strip the WEI API from their builds.
However, you may want to switch the user agent string to “Vivaldi” because it is “Google Chrome” in the default setting.
The website you want won’t let you in with firefox. Only chrome on windows with secure boot enabled and no untrusted drivers or dev mode and https-dns to avoid your pihole.
So, what you are saying is that by checking this trust API, we can filter out everyone running unaltered big-media approved browsers and hardware? We’d end up splitting the web into two disjoint parts, one for big corporate and sheeple - and one more akin to the web of old comprised by skilled tech people and hobbyists? A rift that could finally bring an end to eternal September? … Are we sure this proposal a bad thing?
Ohh this sounds amazing. Let them go all corporate on Edge and Chrome. It’ll be fine for corporate IT and even better for IT and the world. I want my open web back, it’s been a nosedive to mega corps for far too long.

That doesn’t solve anything… it might even be downright bad as you are more prone to being fingerprinted…
Install Firefox.
The website you want won’t let you in with firefox. Only chrome on windows with secure boot enabled and no untrusted drivers or dev mode and https-dns to avoid your pihole.
Which is a possible future.
But it’s less likely if more people use Firefox.
Then I don’t want that website.
it’s great you have that mentality, but the majority of people will just give in and use chrome
