Hopefully this pushes mass adoption of Firefox and abandonment of Chrome.
It already happened and didn't. And when they enforce it, it will be by blocking Firefox so I don't see people moving then either, because you're going from drmed forced ads Internet to no access Internet
Google is a huge backer of Firefox financially. Some say it's to avoid getting sued for monopolistic practices, not just for being the default search engine. I'd be extremely surprised to hear they blocked the browser they fund.

They mostly want Mozilla to implement the same internet drm that Chrome has now. They aren't going to allow non drmed browsers, what would the point of making all the drm be?
