This proposal absolutely infuriates me. This is making it so that you won't be able to browse the web unless you are using "approved" hardware on an "approved" OS with an "approved" browser. You will have no freedom to control your computing. Even if your browser is open source it will barely matter because you won't be able to patch it, you will need to run the approved binaries.

Fuck off and let me use the software I want.

This is SafetyNet from Android. You won't be able to access your bank, your movies, your anything unless you are using hardware and software that is controlled by billion dollar corporations.
