    Yes it can break pihole too, iirc. Not sure of the exact nature of it, but basically it checks that you loaded the page as intended. If resources are blocked, it didn't load as intended.

    WEI doesn't do that at all. It only can validate that the browser is what it claims to be.

    That's not to say WEI isn't bad. It will make it near impossible for new browsers to gain market share and create privacy issues.
