    Other than google itself, why would any website want to do such a thing

    Web devs can be pretty lazy and only want to support Chrome anyway. If Chrome is the only browser offering certain features (“proof” that user is human, potentially getting rid of adblockers altogether, etc), that’s a good excuse to finally just stop supporting Firefox and Safari.

      Didn’t Microsoft try and do this with Silverlight back in the day?
