> How about you offer a reasonable opposing viewpoint
Read the proposal: https://github.com/RupertBenWiser/Web-Environment-Integrity/...
>That's settled then. Full filesystem, location, camera, and microphone access should therefore come on by default without a permission dialog. Why not bring back Java and Flash while we're at it! It's not the browser vendor's fault that websites are misusing it.
Now who is arguing in bad faith? if you have read the proposal, it's clear that they are being careful and are upfront about the some potential misuses and the proposed handing of them.
> to verify that your system is using a Google-approved bootloader to load a Google-approved operating system which only loads Google-approved drivers and Google-approved software (or worse, website-approved software).
again there is no such thing proposed.

I'm a lifelong FF user, and I had problems with google docs in the beginning. I vaguely remember it was using JS features that FF hadn't implemented yet.
Currently, Chrome has a number of CSS features that Firefox and/or Safari don't support. You can find them at [1]. Some make life a bit easier, and devs use them because they like easy or even because they think everyone should force their browser maker to adapt all those features ASAP.
In an old thread, I explained that my code ignores these features because we want to be compatible with as many users as possible. I got some miffed replies saying we should make our users upgrade. Really.
Then there are also APIs in Chrome that have not been standardized, and some of which should not be in a browser (IMO), like USB access (see [2]). Some of that is an attempt by Google to replace "native" applications by web pages, which would give them even more leverage.
