How is Manifest v3, Fingerprinting and the proposed "Web Integrity API" not enshittification?

They would have gone even further with this, if Firefox wouldn't exist. And Firefox is on life Support, because they can't afford for it to Go away otherwise they would have the Antitrust regulators Breathing down their neck

but it’s hard to see any of them becoming well-developed and trustworthy for things like health data, government services, financial transactions &etc anytime soon.

I honestly don't See the Relation to Chrome.

You're suggesting that a PWA running on Firefox isn't suitable for this?

No, not every company can afford to Bulldoze the competition in the Browser Market because they have indefinite deep pockets from the Ad Business.

If that unfair advantage goes away there will be more competition again in the Browser Segment .

Also Marketshare can grow and shrink quick

Google can Set Standards to their own Advantage, e.g. with regards to Tracking which reinforces their Monopoly on Things Like Ads, the Same reason they crippled all the AdBlockers with ManifestV3 on Chromium-based Browsers

And the only alternative that isn't Chromium-based is Firefox. (Or Safari with WebKit). All other Browsers use Chromium

So it would be really good for everyone if they were forced to sell Chrome

It's possible, but Not necessary. The Plugin includes a client

But they include it, as I've written it 🙄

(They pool multiple shadow libraries)

BiglyBT includes an embedded I2P-Client

There are already Torrents with the raw data and they've used IPFS in the past, but decided it was not ready https://annas-archive.org/torrents (They pool multiple shadow libraries)
