In the middle area where values are displayed, find PREF.
Double tap Cookies to expand the sub-menu. Open the Edge Developer Tools using the "Ctrl + Shift + I" shortcut. In Edge navigate to any video on YouTube (so the player loads). This trick was noted by Reddit user hamzah77, and it's very easy to do. Since this is encoded in YouTube's page coding, it causes issues for other browsers that are complying with modern standards.Īs to why Google would do this, Peterson wrote, "I assume Google has metrics showing that the Polymer redesign increases Firefox and Edge user engagement more than the slow polyfills hurt it." That is certainly a generous interpretation.Īccording to Peterson, this decision by Google results in Edge and Firefox being up to five times slower than Chrome – specifically with comments and related material seemingly taking forever to load.įor it's part, Kyle Pflug, who works on Edge for Microsoft says this issue will be sorted in time between the two companies:įollowing the observed behavior that YouTube serves up a pre-Polymer YouTube experience to Internet Explorer 11 but not Edge, we can modify the saved cookie on the computer to spoof YouTube. Google is using outdated APIs while the rest of the web world has moved on to adopt current standards. 
Even Polymer 2.x supports Shadow DOM v0 and v1, but YouTube, ironically, has not yet been updated to the newer refreshed Polymer.
It's that dependency on what is an older version of Shadow DOM that is the issue. Google's recent redesign of YouTube, which is named Polymer, uses the "Shadow Document Object Model (DOM)" version-zero API, which is a form of JavaScript.
