If an internet giant like Cloudflare has already implemented and adopted this, there won’t be a lot that individual web developers can do unless this gets shot down as anti-competitive behavior (which it is). The alternative is not using CDNs and paying for servers and storage to self-host content, which will be prohibitively expensive for smaller businesses or individual hobbyists.
I’m an engineer so I will probably have to shout about it in meetings soon enough. Thankfully my whole team are FOSS advocates and Linux professionals so I know we’ll be on equal wavelengths.
I hope web developers refuse to implement it so it just sits unused and unneeded.
I just wrote a funny script and corresponding web page:
"use strict"; (() => { if (navigator.getEnvironmentIntegrity !== undefined) { window.location.href = "https://dblsaiko.net/no-wei"; } })()If this API actually becomes a thing, I might put it on all my pages.
While this obviously would never help in any meaningful way, I do absolutely love it

As an aspiring web developer, I shall refuse to use it once I learn.

Right on!
