If a visitor is using a WEI-enabled browser (e.g. Chrome, Edge, Chromium) they will get a full-page warning that their browser is harmful, with a link to the FSF's explanation of why WEI is bad and download links to various browsers that oppose WEI (currently: Firefox, Safari, Brave, Pale Moon, GNOME Web).

The user has to close the warning banner to view the website content.

I like this. Spreading awareness is very important. However, the warning message should provide more information. Many users won't bother to click the link. The developer even suggests this as an enhancement: Concise and easy to understand explanation why WEI is bad and you should feel bad, rather than just linking to the FSF.
