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

It will affect for some sites, not for others. You'll no longer be able to bypass paywalls to read news, for example, because those sites will most likely adopt the DRM. Some streaming services may do the same, maybe even some social networks. But places like lemmy will still be generally unnaffected.
