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

    So things like curl or lynx would be illegal eh? Good luck enforcing those.

        I guess you could argue that a simple http client is not a browser, so these would be excluded. But if you write code yourself to use an http client to make a browser, then you would have to implement Frances’s bullshit to be legal in France.

        But that depends on how you legally distinguish between a simple http client and a browser…
