The French government is considering a law that would require web browsers – like Mozilla's Firefox – to block websites chosen by the government.

i don't see the problem. just don't make your browser available in france? there's only 3 browsers to pick from anyway, firefox, safari, or chromium-based. if everyone makes themselves unavailable in france, what is france going to do? heck, iphones only have safari. the people would be pretty quick to burn down paris (as is tradition) when the web becomes unavailable.
I strongly doubt that Google, Microsoft, Apple etc. would make their browsers unavailable in France.
I could see it. I know they all bend to China, but they also know that fighting China won't change anything. If Google pulls Chrome and Apple pulls Safari, French citizens do actually have a path to be heard and get shit changed.
Equally important to them, plopping their dicks on the table against the French government and having it work might scare them out of curtailing their monopolies next time.
