Wouldn't spoofing work? Like, if the browser just sends "yes, no extensions, adblock, blah blah" then how would the attestation server know if that's true? Or does it require signed binaries, or some special hardware?
That is conveniently left out of the speck. Attestation server may require signed binary on a client system, it may require whatever it wants really, because why not? It's a website who decides to trust attestation server or not.
Depends on if they used cryptographic signatures. Those would be impossible to spoof because any change in the client would change the hash completely.
Google silently shipping signed chrome executables soon...
And then people wonder why non chromium browsers are important
Chromium is cancer.
Nah, chromium by itself is okay. Its just google, microshit and everyone else using the chromium source to ship as much telemetry, ads, data as possible.
I'm pretty sure Chromium is still phoning home just as it used to for almost a decade. It's a piece of Google's garbage.
