But like, can't they just download the non France version of Firefox? Isn't it open source? People can just build their own, right?
Yeah.
Yes but 90% of the people using Firefox won't bother or notice. I already struggle trying to make all my relatives switch to Firefox, I can't imagine getting them to download a specific version or build it themselves...
But the same applies for the other workarounds mentioned doesn't it?
You should just build one yourself, put it on a disc or flash drive and install it for them.
