We've known for some time that Google isn't really the biggest supporter of Microsoft products, but you'd think that the software giant moving its browser from EdgeHTML to Chromium would change this rather hostile approach.

After previously listing the Chromium-based Microsoft Edge as unsupported on the number of services, like Google Docs, Google is now going a step further and blocking the browser completely from connecting to the new version of YouTube.

As reported on Twitter, Edge can't be used to load the refreshed YouTube interface, of course, not without changing the consumer agent to emulate Google Chrome.

"Your browser is not supported. Check it out using the latest Google Chrome," a message displayed on YouTube reads once the page is loaded in the new Microsoft Edge browser.

As a result, Windows 10 and macOS users who installed Microsoft Edge preview on their own devices are tied to the old form of YouTube.

"Google says it's just a bug"

Restricting access to the new YouTube isn't necessarily surprising, not due to Google attempting to favor its own browser, but because Edge is a work in progress. However, since the whole purpose is to test both service and the browser, such a restriction makes no sense, as users would virtually be blocked from testing out the brand new YouTube if the limitation stays in place.

In a statement, however, Google says everything is simply any sort of accident and offers to resolve it as soon as you possibly can.

"We're aware that users of the preview form of Chromium-based Edge are now being redirected to the old form of YouTube. We're trying to address this problem. We're committed to supporting YouTube on Edge and apologize for just about any inconvenience this may be causing," Google says.

Microsoft Edge happens to be obtainable in preview for Windows 10 and macOS, and a testing version for older Windows releases is expected within the coming months.
