If I owned a browser company, I would just pull my browser from France. Much easier than having to make a separate version just for one country.
What kind of authoritarian power move is this? Lol
what prevents Microsoft, Google, Apple, Mozilla, etc from just ignoring French legislation? it’s not like any fines levied would affect their bottom line in any noticable way.
the French government could develop their own browser I suppose but I really don’t see how it’s be widely adopted, since you’d need a “noncompliant browser” to even download it in the first place.
tryhard bureaucrats need to lay off the koolaid

You think it’s time for another revolution?
That’s not a very good solution from a technical standpoint. I mean, there are a bunch of ways to defeat that on the local computer, from modifying the client to disrupting or modifying its communication with the French governments censorship list, not to mention using a non-French browser.
If they’re serious about blocking access to content for French users, it should be happening at the network level, at the edge of the French network.
