We'll soon get Manifest V4 that, for "security reasons", somehow includes clauses banning any AI other than Gemini from using the browser.

That's too easy. It'll be more subtle. Compatibility MCP-Gemini for "security" so it slurps in more data from all the other AIs
And then a flat fee whenever anyone links-out from your proprietary, inescapable MCP backend. It's a legal free money hack!
That would suck. Is Google going to just eat all of this?
I'm not sure, all of my devices run a Firefox fork.
