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

That's pretty terrible UX, though. I think it's more likely that websites will continue integrating a CAPTCHA service and that service will simply try to short-circuit its decision by asking for attestation. If none is given the user gets to click on pictures of street lights.

You seem to be more worried about UX than those sites. At least in the EU, the user has to click through a multi-step wizard about cookie stuff to get to any content on every site these days. This wizard is not mandated by law, but these sites choose to use it anyways, just to squeeze a bit more money out of their visitors.
