Now, I can't prove malice, but this does strike me odd:

> "Mozilla's Technical Program Manager has stated that YouTube's Polymer redesign relies heavily on the deprecated Shadow DOM v0 API, which is only available in Chrome." https://news.slashdot.org/story/18/07/25/1128225/google-has-...

Relying on a deprecated API, only available to Chrome, and forcing a slow polyfill on everyone else seems like a sure fire way to try to push people to use Chrome and make things slow for everyone else.

Whether or not this latest Edge / div debacle was malicious or not, the company has a history of doing stuff leaning that direction.
