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

I'm not sure this is true (keep in mind: weak grasp). This 10% would push websites from specifically blocking untrusted clients-- but if they got rid of the 5%, it would not magically change all the websites to block untrusted clients. They'd still need to update to do this.

I don't want to come off like I'm defending this though-- I really just don't know enough to say.

The vast majority of them would not change the default, and a simple mandatory update would change that to 0% without them having to do anything.

Do you think Google will implement this in the end?
