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

Yes, because it will implicitly discourage the use of any other type of browser

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.

Seems like it's much more than a discouragement
