Awesome feature. If Chrome ever rolls out Web Environment Integrity this will really smooth my transition to FF.

Kind of getting off topic here but if Web Environment Integrity takes off then the whole issue is that its then up to the website if you're even allowed to use Firefox.

Any company in the US that tries that is going to run afoul of the ADA.

I'm not sure... Are you saying Firefox is the only ADA compliant browser? Years ago when I dealt with ADA and web accessibility I found gaps across all the browsers. There wasn't a one-size fits all. Rather mileage varied with each website.

Have things changed?

I'm saying forcing use of Chrome means specialty user agent's with accessibility features won't work any more than Firefox.

I don't mean to be a dick but people giving Chrome its marketshare is the reason why Google is confident in rolling out dystopian changes.

Why wait? Change now. If you do the tech support for your parents, change theirs. It's a web browser, not vim vs emacs. There's little to no friction in changing.
