This story where Microsoft wasn't able to fix a video performance issue in Edge, instead they asked youtube to work around it and yt refused. And at the end google is the villain... I don't follow, sorry.

They did fix the problem, but in the meantime Google started advertising Chrome's superior performance. YouTube overlaid an invisible div on top of the video.
@pcwalton explained why this probably broke Edge (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18703568 …) and it sounds like Edge was being reasonable.1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes
The breakage was probably accidental (YouTube is a very complex webapp), but if YouTube had broken Chrome I bet the change would have been backed out until Chrome was fixed. Since they're a monopoly they have no incentive to do that for other browsers.
