You say:

How does this affect browser modifications and extensions?

Web Environment Integrity attests the legitimacy of the underlying hardware and software stack, it does not restrict the indicated application’s functionality: E.g. if the browser allows extensions, the user may use extensions; if a browser is modified, the modified browser can still request Web Environment Integrity attestation.

if the browser allows extensions -> Chrome on Android does not
if a browser is modified, the modified browser can still -> can, maybe, do it?
Also, what about devtools? Will they be banned then, too? Because there you can also easily spoof social media, remove ads, automate stuff…
Will you also ban automated browser testing tools, for the same reasons?
