Instead, Chocolate Factory focuses on more limited attestation for Android WebViews

Instead, the Chocolate Factory plans to work on a more limited version of the tech for Android WebViews, a version of its Chrome browser that can be embedded within Android apps., announced on a developer mailing list in May, to serve as a way to limit online fraud and abuse without enabling privacy problems like cross-site tracking or browser fingerprinting.

That is to say, the API would allow websites to figure out if they were being visited by a legit user in a normal browser as opposed to a page-scraping bot masquerading as a real person or some malicious software bent on fraudulently viewing and clicking on ads and doing other bad stuff. Apple incidentally has already shipped its own attestation scheme called Private Access Tokens, which while it presents some of the same concerns is arguablythan Google's proposal because Safari's overall share of the web browser market across all devices is far lower than Chrome's.of client browsers for ad blocking extensions also represents a form of attestation or integrity check, albeit where what's evaluated is installed software rather than a cryptographic token.

Three months on, after sporadic inquiries about the project's status, Google has moderated its ambitions.Instead, the Android team aims to focus on the Android WebView Media Integrity API, which provides a similar form of attestation but only for WebViews embedded in Android apps.
