Matt Milano July 28, 2023

Unfortunately, rooting a device or installing a non-standard version of the OS can interfere  :bullshit: with the attestation, setting up a user to be locked out from using some apps. Yet this is the model that Google is taking inspiration from for the web.

Rubbishly put.

How about the other way around, "attestation can interfere with your devices access to things and cut you off".

An operating system's job is to operate so how can that interfere, why should it interfere being the same thing with a few modifications here and there if deliberately done by the owner. Sounds to me like they they want to set it to interfere not the other way round.

I use AdNauseam for Firefox, which does exactly this -- clicks quietly every ad found on the page. Of course, it does not render the original ad frames.

Saves Facebook and the like putting single-pixel trackers on the page. And as a bonus their advertisers can track you too!
