But it looks like that only affects users of the Chrome Browser right?
No, this means that websites that use this simply refuse to work at all on non-Chrome browsers.
For now. Embrace (creating a good open source browser, that now most people use), Extend (it with additional features, like this), Extinguish (other browsers, that are not implementing these features by making big sites like youtube depend on them or provide a worse experince, lower quality, delayed content releases, exclusive content)
Chrome has dominant market share. If this takes off and Firefox refuses to adapt some websites might just become completely inaccessible.
