UserScript that blocks Web Environment Integrity (WEI) websites

Hello HN!

I created a simple UserScript that blocks websites that use Web Environment Integrity (WEI).

For those who aren't aware, for information about why WEI is considered harmful, check out this article from FSF: https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/web-environment-integrity-is-an-all-out-attack-on-the-free-internet

Installation is straightforward if you have a UserScript manager (like Tampermonkey, Violentmonkey) installed in your browser. Just add this script to your UserScript manager and it will automatically run whenever you visit a webpage.

Here's the link to the GitHub repo: https://github.com/groundcat/Web-Environment-Integrity-Blocker

Here's the link to install: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/472234-web-environment-integrity-blocker

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback.
