Librewolf and the “EME-free” builds of Firefox are the two I know of. You can also set media.eme.enabled and browser.eme.ui.enabled to false in any Firefox-based browser.
By default, LibreWolf disables Widevine and the Cisco OpenH264 library plugins, but you can easily enable them in the settings.
Some Linux distros also don’t enable those plugins in their native Firefox builds (I believe Fedora is one example, but my info may be outdated), though they can usually be enabled manually without much issue (might need to download a couple of extra packages, not certain).
So it depends on the distro and build.
On Windows, that isn’t an issue, though. At least not for vanilla Firefox and pretty much all Chromium browsers.
Safari on MacOS has its own DRM. Not quite sure how it’s implemented on sites that use Widevine (Netflix) because they still work, but Safari doesn’t use Widevine at all (except on iOS for some reason).
Which browsers don’t?
