Also, if you do visit a site that uses DRM and your browser doesn't support it, it will show up in the server logs, so just using it is sending a message.


Sadly, it doesn't. I was hoping for this as well, so I tested it, and it turns out that the user agent of the two browsers are identical.

  EME:      Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0  
  EME-free: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0


But wouldn't the server logs show that the browser loaded the page but failed to set up the video stream because it didn't support EME?
