Lots of people doom and gloom here about threats to user privacy and freedom.

This is the one I'd be worried about. Thought it was annoying to not be able to use banking apps on a rooted Android? Think about how annoying it will be when you can't do much of anything, even on the Web, unless it's from a sealed, signed Apple/Google/Microsoft image-based OS...

I realize the way Firefox's user share is going, it might not matter or they might feel they don't have a choice but I really, really hope Mozilla doesn't even remotely consider implementing this.

Do you realize the amount of work that Google has put in over the years to provide Linux support for Google Chrome? Why would they suddenly about face on that?

Wouldn't it be great if you never had to deal with another captcha?

I run a custom build of Firefox, on a (somewhat, still-ish) niche Linux OS, with the kernel and bootloader signed by my own signing keys. What could I attest with, that will make some banking website perceive me as a trustworthy client?

The second this becomes widely available, it won't mean "bypass captchas" - it will mean "can't bank unless you use up-to-date Android or latest iOS".
