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

    But like, can’t they just download the non France version of Firefox? Isn’t it open source? People can just build their own, right?

      Yes but 90% of the people using Firefox won’t bother or notice. I already struggle trying to make all my relatives switch to Firefox, I can’t imagine getting them to download a specific version or build it themselves…
