YouTube now no longer works with Chromium Microsoft Edge
Previously, some of Google’s online services as Docs, Drive blocked Chromium Microsoft Edge. Google’s explanation was mainly that Microsoft modified the UA identifier in the new version. Although the new version of EDGE is the same as Google’s browser, the UA identifier is different, and until now Google has not added a new identifier to the site. Many of Google’s online services are whitelisted browsers, returning different prompts based on the UA identifier to ensure that all users get the best experience.
According to Twitter users, Google’s popular video site YouTube has released a new version, but using Chromium Microsoft Edge browser to open it is not compatible.
Great. YouTube now no longer works with the new Edge. You get this message, asking you to download Chrome, or you have to revert to the old YouTube design. pic.twitter.com/gsxi50IEtr

At the prompt, Google said that the new desktop design uses a cleaner layout, but your browser is not supported, please download and use Google Chrome. Of course, if you change the browser representation to Google Chrome in the developer tool, you can access it normally, which seems to be a problem with the UA identifier.
