No, that was different. eIDAS is certificate based - those that care will just use a VPN to download a non-EU compliant browser build and only surf with the VPN on. At least that’s my plan.

But it’s not spyware. The eIDAS law proposes that governments can insert certificates that spoof the originator. A subtle difference.

I really hope Mozilla don’t comply

What would be a non-EU compliant browser?

I’m expecting browser companies to offer EU citizens a browser with the eIDAS cert acceptance baked in but outside the EU as they are now
