Under what SPECIFIC feature (in e.g. Firefox and Chrome) is this automatic obfuscation implemented when printing a PDF? And how to remove it from the file?

I think some banks utilize some feature built in PDF Readers to PREVENT printing of "SENSITIVE" information in a PDF, by blocking parts with black bars.
The issue does not appear when printing using other software, like Adobe Reader or Microsoft Edge, to print the PDF. But it DOES occur with Firefox and Chrome. So it's not a driver issue.
Is this a form of DRM? I want to know how it works whatever is causing it, and be able to REMOVE it from the PDF itself completely.
Why does Firefox obey this "DRM" crap, while Edge has the balls to ignore it?
And to make things even more complicated, I am able to print the PDF fine on another computer, using the exact same OS, browser, and printer. So it appears to be a specific setting or version of .e.g Firefox?
If only I had NAME for this, then I'd be able to search for it online.

God that's so dumb when you can probably already just select Rich text with images from a screenshot now on modern OS. They're just trying to blow people's printer cartridges :/
In a secure setting this can be useful. It limits peoples ability to accidentally send secure documents to a network printer that may print to somewhere insecure.
It's just like a padlock. It helps keep honest people out, but doesn't stop everyone.
Yea or a locked down no phone workplace with screenshots disabled ig
