Be careful for what you wish for as it looks like other non WebKit browsers will be caught up in all this. Under this remit Firefox OS/Boot to Gecko for example would be blocked from using Google Maps.

Regardless who the victims are its a bad move for anybody who believes in open web standards.

So by your warped logic Google users also agree with Google policies like deliberately invading your privacy (ignoring Safari DNT) and acting in a grossly anti-competitive manner by abusing FRAND patents (which they thankfully got told off for this week).
