All current conversations surrounding Net Neutrality refer to ISPs being neutral. Since this is happening at the browser level, it would not technically be a violation.
For example streaming websites aren't required to support Linux. It's a dick move, but it's not a violation to "block" users.
That isn't to say this isn't a dick move, it absolutely is, but as currently defined it isn't a Net Neutrality issue.
Hmm, perhaps not net neutrality then, but it could be anti competitive maybe. Like the Internet Explorer fiasco from back in the day.
