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

Laws are usually made by people far detached from what they are ruling on. In short: They have no idea. Although majority of the planet uses chromium based browsers and once this is implemented in chromium its kinda decided.
Except at it’s core chromium is open source, and I can’t see the FOSS community embracing the idea. The French also wouldn’t be able to fully limit access to unrestricted browsers.
It’s an all round dumb idea. Much easier and more effective to tell ISPs to do the blocking.
