Indeed, the plan is for EME-style DRM to be opt-in in Firefox.

AFAICT, it's opt-out on Chrome OS (the Widevine CDM shows up as a plug-in in the same UI that one would use for turning off Pepper Flash). It seems that there's an opt-out UI in IE11 (I haven't actually tested whether it works), but locating it is quite non-obvious. I failed to locate it on my first two careful attempts! (It's in a menubar menu but the menubar is hidden by default.) I haven't taken the time to examine if Safari has an opt-out UI somewhere.
