Assuming the CDM used by the (possibly open-source) browser is open-source, you can just save all the decoded frames.

Someone will do that, big media will be mad, we'll have more laws, browsers will be forced into having a binary blob in by default, avid Netflix watchers will be so happy.

That's an enormous assumption. Google, Apple, and Microsoft already have closed source, incompatible CDMs.
