    That’s why they want to make it a web standard, so they can just blame Firefox and others for not following the standard and avoid EU fines.

    That’s what Microsoft did with their office document standard.

      Yeah, the sad thing here is that if Apple comply, it will basically become a standard and there’s nothing that Firefox or anything else can do about it. If they can get it on iPhone, it’s game over. Half the web will be blocked unless you agree to see adverts.

        I doubt they will.

        Apple already has the Private Access Tokens that Cloudflare has been working on making into a standard, primarily for skipping captchas. Google doesn’t like those because they are too private.

      I doubt the EU would buy that.

        I am afraid EU can be too dumb to not buy that!

        If it’s an actual official web standard, they might have to.
