and then 75% of people can't use your website and then people stop using it? That wouldn't work

I mean, yeah, that's why I said it wouldn't work. Maybe if there was a website that was big enough that it would drive people to use non-WEI browsers if they couldn't access it, but any website big enough to do that would also want WEI for ad venue.

The only big website that could even come close to doing this (they won’t, and if they did it wouldn’t work, but they’re big enough that the attempt would at least be noticed) is Wikipedia.

A slightly more “productive” (sort of) avenue of approach would be another large corporation for whom Google is a competitor, and who themselves doesn’t rely (as much) on advertising, interfering with WEI for their own self-interested reasons. Apple is the most likely candidate here, although again, I don’t think that’s likely to happen.
