Why forcing the browsers? Couldn't they just make a law for ISPs to block specific domains?
Too easy to bypass that with a VPN, proxy, or alternative DNS.
Either way it's still a software restriction that can be bypassed with other software.
Eh there's really only 2 players in the browser game right now
and the source code for both of them is available.
Could just compile yourself without the filtering
