That's equally stupid though... why shouldn't I be able to tamper with my phone's operating system? And how is it any of a website's business if I do?

    You can tamper all you want, but apps can already block access to devices that have been tampered with. This just gives that same power to websites.

    ... yes, and I am obviously very against giving that same power to websites lol. An app is built from the ground up as a UX created by the company, and that is what you are signing up for when you use an app. A browser should be a contained way of rendering data from some webserver according to a user's preferences. Google is apparently trying to "app-ify" web protocols in order to give themselves more power over a user's experience to the detriment of the user.
