I'm happy to see this being noticed more and more. Google wants to destroy the open web, so it's a lot at stake.

Google basically says "Trust us". What a joke.

They don't care about a "safe web environment". That is not making them any more money. Knowing much more about their users and being able to perfectly match everything a user does anywhere with Googles advertising business, though, will.

This is actually in correct. They do care about it because they are going to enforce a standard. Which means they will be able to force ads to be displayed. Ads is Google's main revenue source.
