I also think we need an option to disable Widevine completely. We used to have that ability in chrome://plugins, and even if it's rarely used, I'd like to retain the ability.

I don't think we have a clear, documented security bar for who/what origins can load the CDM, and hence its attack surface might be more exposed than we expect. (I'd love to be wrong; is there documentation?)

Is M-57 doable?

Yes, I've duped this issue into the bug that fixes this for MD Settings: 687783

The main issue (that allows disabling Widevine in Old Options as well) is here, which I'm also working on: 686430

re: palmer, we're working reasonably hard to get this done, tested, and merged into 57.
