edge support for youtube

Question
-
This is not necessarily a question but more of a statement.
Microsoft, I installed fresh install of Win 10 pro. I ran Edge for a bit and it was pretty fast. I needed to look at video on youtube, oh... I'd say about 3 minutes after I installed windows 10 because that's what we do with freaking browsers!... And guess what I got... "NO SUPPORT FOR VIDEO FORMAT ERROR"... that is stupid Microsoft. I will not trouble shoot it, I will not look on a forum to figure out why it isn't working, I will not spend one ounce of my time trying to fix Edge browser not working with Youtube. I installed Google Chrome and guess what? It works fine.
If you want to be accepted by the masses you need to support the masses out of the box. No I will not send you error reports and no I will not send log files.
YouTube has been around for Many Many Many years. If you cant figure that out then... bye.

I found this link that explains the issue, with suggested fixes:

Apparently this has been an issue for months. Bottom line, Google is using an outdated API. Microsoft and Google need to work out a solution, until Google updates YouTube to the current standard.
