I've heard time and time again how this is "the end of the free web". Can someone succinctly explain how this is the case, for somebody not familiar with web browser architecture? What does WEI provide that wasn't previously possible?

Future web will require you to have certified browser - Chrome ™, to access the web. It will require certified OS Windows™, running on trusted Hardware TPM™, running trusted firmware CIA™.

You'll have no choice and your love will be mandatory.

This won't stop malware of course. However a skull clamp will be installed to monitor your thoughts and you will be zapped if undesirable thoughts are detected.

Note: it's a hyperbole but if you want another OS, Browser or hardware you'll be forced to Homebrew it. Or use a compromised app.

Can Google really do this? What if I'm using Safari on OS X, or Firefox on Linux?

If your choice of operating system and web browser are not WEI-compliant, you can expect something like:

"Sorry, this site requires a certified web browser.

Your browser does not meet the security requirements that this website requires.

Please upgrade to the lastest Google Chrome and remove any uncertified plugins."
