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

    On ISP level? Only with DNS blocking. Which is pointless since you can simply change the DNS server to some non-ISP one. That’s probably why they want to force this stupidity onto browsers. Which is even more stupid and pointless.

      You can block IP addresses on ISP level.

      We can argue about VPNs then, but that’s not how Internet should work, right?

        Single IP can host multiple websites. You really want to block half the internet?

      If you are technical enough to change your DNS server, you are technical enough to circumvent that
