Oh look, the EU threatens to investigate and potentially fine them, and suddenly there IS a way to preserve "security and privacy" with web apps. It's almost like the initial reasoning for the change was complete bullshit!
It's still only halfway there, but at least they are not removing existing functionality anymore. Let's see how the EU likes this new "only WebKit" restriction.
I think they just stuffed something worse relatively unnoticed, and this thing was intended to divert attention.
