@hyakinthos @zacchiro The Tor Project is not a good candidate, they have actually been trying to lessen their involvement in browser work for a while. It is difficult and resource intensive. It does help that #Mullvad is now contributing. More orgs and devs should join in!

This is the example of the kind of feature that the #DigitalMarketsAct is driving #Google to implement. It could have been implemented long ago, but there was no pressure for Google to do so. Notice how they implemented it in #PlayServices, not Android. Apps that implement this are then tied to Google's proprietary stuff. That's their way of maintaining control of the ecosystem. https://www.theverge.com/2024/11/21/24302562/android-restore-credentials-transfer-restore-key
