"Prior to that, our fairly state-of-the-art video acceleration put us well ahead of Chrome on video playback time on battery, but almost the instant they broke things on YouTube, they started advertising Chrome’s dominance over Edge on video-watching battery life.

@kosinus That's such a tiny fraction of the overall web browser market that damage is much smaller than Google is doing. It sucks for sites that care more about US and well-to-do mobile users than total worldwide users but aren't willing/able to do an app, I guess.

@freakazoid That’s true, I was mixing concerns as well. I wholeheartedly agree on Google, though!
