I suspect the websites that use this system won't be worth visiting anyway.
So you won't use your banks website?
Or your utilities (gas/water/electricity/internet)?
You won't let your kids use the portal at their school for submitting assignments?
Your government sites for renewing your drivers license or scheduling hard refuse pickup?
I can think of lots of reasons that will force me to have chrome installed if this goes ahead.
I work on the website for a medium sized utility, and will definitely resist implementing this.
I have been trying to convince my manager to let me switch to an authentication solution that supports webauthn, though.
A manager only has so much power. Once the higher ups decide on things, nothing can be done. And we see too much examples of executive level people that are so out of touch.
I was just thinking about this more, and what if Google decides to implement this on Google maps? Am I going to have to put a message up saying something like, "sorry, you can't view our outage map unless you use a browser that supports web integrity"?
Because you're right, convincing the higher ups to let me switch to OpenStreetMap is probably going to be a losing battle.
