So what happens to open source browsers? Will they be forced to implement it? Are the governments going to audit the code to make sure no one is releasing a version that has removed the government certs or are they going to outlaw open source browsers?
Again, this is not going to catch anyone with half a braincell that is trying to do something. This is just going to catch everyone else.
I wonder if this will tie into the BS that Google was trying to implement that would make it impossible to modify the webpage using adblockers etc. making it so you can't navigate the web if you are using a uncertified browser.

Very likely, yes. Also note that a similar client-side CSAM scanning feature was rolled out by Apple with a similar anticipation, and shortly after we saw the proposal of Chatcontrol and the like.
