• Acknowledged bug in the Chromium version of Edge

    Posted on June 25, 2020 at 10:55 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    MS has admitted that there’s a bug in all Chromium-based versions of Edge that have either AdBlock (Plus) or Adblock for Youtube extensions installed. The bug makes YouTube videos break:

    If you’re experiencing this bug, you will likely encounter a black screen on the video player when attempting to load a video on YouTube. (See the screenshot below.) We’ve found that this behavior is happening on all operating systems and all Microsoft Edge channels.

    It sounds like MS isn’t really, really sure that the problem’s confined to AdBlock:

    We’d love to know if you’re seeing this error message but not using an Adblock extension, or if the above workaround doesn’t resolve the error. If so, please submit feedback through Microsoft Edge

    The solution? Disable the ad blocker.
