If Google succeeds with the new DRM policy, will that affect functionality of browsers like firefox which uses a different engine? (feddit.rocks)

Sites that implement it will drop traffic which will lower ad revenue which will mean less money.

If browsers that do not implement it gain a higher market share it might have them miss out on so much money that they don't block the browser or not implement the drm.

it's a battle of browsers now and i am happy to stand on the site of firefox.
