That's the point, DRM would force everyone to use a "compliant" browser (Chrome, or extension-free Firefox etc), and the other browsers might not be able to show content; they may also lock the content from copying and editing without special tools, just like website video DRM works now
But we already see "sorry you're running adblocker so no content for you" websites, so I'm not sure if that's gonna change much
Firefox works around video drm by running it in an isolated container though.
