Mozilla has added support for Google's Play Integrity API, known for blocking users of custom ROMs from accessing banking apps, to Firefox for Android.
The token is used to access Firefox’s server-side AI tools, like Smart Window, for rate-limiting purposes, ensuring only unmodified, Play-installed copies of Firefox on Google-certified devices use Mozilla’s1 compute infra.
That’s… alright, that seems not unreasonable. Am I misunderstanding this?
If only that one service had access to the API then I wouldn’t care much, but it sounds like any website can now check if my phone is rooted and deny me access.

I already disable all of the AI shitware on firefox, so this is a non-issue for me.
