The internet would probably split in two. You'll have the corpo internet that can only be accessed by DRM enabled chrome browsers and... everything else. I can't see a non profit like Wikipedia turning that garbage on, nor Lemmy and Mastodon. There will still be sites to use (with Firefox or derivatives) and probably a rich ecosystem of mirrored content with the DRM stripped out.
