It's just a "proposal," but it's also being prototyped inside Chrome right now.

    I’m worried there won’t be much of a backlash.

    People as a whole don’t seem to care very much about the bad behavior of these big tech companies.

    I hope I’m wrong.

        From technically savvy people, I imagine.

        The average user won’t understand the implications or won’t care enough to avoid it. That alone would lead to a HUGE amount of adoption if/when they deploy this.
