I better throw out my web browser then. It is circumventing YouTube DRM by opening those URLs.

By that logic, playing Netflix on your browser is breaking DRM. That’s not how that works.

Netflix sends the videos to your computer with a form of DRM and then uses a key from either your browser or hardware to unlock the content. That is nothing like YouTube, which sends both the links and the media to you unencrypted.
