> Make browsing the internet possible only on Chrome, Safari or Edge (with no modifications or extensions). No competition allowed in browsers

Forgive my stupidity, but isn't this only going to be the case for websites that will opt into the use of this api? Currently, websites can already do user agent sniffing, or hide their content behind a login wall; but we are not complaining that this is the end of the web. Or are we?

How many web sites still serve you http:// instead of https:// ?

The transition was (is) entirely voluntary. Transition happened more slowly until browsers made the lack of https:// look scary.

It did help that everyone was in agreement that https is a good thing (TM) though. Browser vendors as well as web developers.
