This might sound silly but assuming you are using firefox or even safari how will this proposal affect these browsers. Only thing I can currently think of is banking sites (on android) would force you to use chrome and check play integrity (safteynet) to block acess.

At the end of the day won't this only affect people using Google chrome? (Forks of chrome, firefox, safari could by pass the issue)?

Sorry if I seem a bit ignorant

Firefox could always spoof the standard to maintain compatibility.

If it could be spoofed easily, wouldn't that defeat the point?

I mean you can't just "spoof" a ssl cert or private ssh key, I have to assume this is at least that good.

Mozilla is working on their own v3, without a lot of the restrictions Google has added. I think you can already try out the relevant mode in Firefox.

On Firefox Nightly looks like they have v3 enabled

Yeah. I saw the announcement in the nightly channel couple of days ago. They're letting extension makers port their add-ons as well in advance.
