  YouTube started using Shadow DOM V0 (which is deprecated) some time ago, which is implemented only in Chrome/Chromium, as a result all other browsers render it slower.

    Google also blocked Windows Phone from Google maps. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/01/google-maps-windows-phone-and-an-avoidable-mess/ https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/01/google-maps-windows-...

      Not to mention pulling the Windows Phone Youtube app that Microsoft wrote because it wasnt made with html5. Nevermind that the android or iphone app didnt support it either.

        They also are still blocking pretty much all browsers except Chrome from Google Hangouts.
