So..I don't use chrome anymore, but I use Vivaldi. Guess this'll fuck that up too or will they remove it?

Edit: looks like they're concerned about it but also are worried stripping it out will f up theye browser being accepted

Hey, fellow Vivaldi userπŸ‘‹ . Yep, one of the Vivaldi devs already said if it was added upstream, they'd strip it out of the Chromium code, but they acknowledge that this would cause problems if WEI became standard. Websites would start to expect it, and not having that functionality would be a death-sentence for any browser (Chromium or otherwise).
