The abuse by the Google Chrome team never ceases to amaze me. I feel trapped on chrome simply because of my reliance on Google drive/docs, which are handicapped on browsers like Firefox.
it shouldn't be that difficult to understand that the latest version of edge means the latest production version, not the brand new complete overhaul of the browser on a different platform that's currently in preview mode.
I'm going to assume this is accidental, not intentional.
I hate this, though it is a kind of poetic justice for the way Windows 10 fights tooth and nail to keep you from switching your default browser away from Edge.
Specifically, that old Edge agent comes up for streaming sites because old Edge has different DRM systems and was able to serve 4K streams from Netflix and others, which Chrome did not do. New Edge still has those capabilities, so it doesn't want to be served the Chrome compatible version.
I wonder if YouTube somehow ended triggering legacy Edge user agent on account of being a video site?
The polymer UI does seem to work perfectly if you set the user-agent to Chrome Windows in devtools -> network conditions.
I'm going to assume this is accidental, not intentional.
Can you explain? To me it looks like YouTube intentionally, not accidentally, updated their browser block list to include Microsoft Edge Preview.
Edit: And the new Edge version likely identifies itself differently.
Basically Google doesn't allow development build Edge users to browse the preview YouTube? Doesn't seem like someone at Google hates Edge, just looks like they didn't test their brand new YouTube on every browser yet so just limited it to heavy Chrome users. Or am I wrong?
