No more installing Chrome extensions to deal with HLS or having to use Edge either.
“having to”? Edge is nice, actually.
It would be even nicer if MS didn’t try to force it down your throat.
Pretty sure Edge doesn't support HLS anymore after their switch to Blink
Well technically old Edge is still around, and obviously this was referring to previous years. It's true that in the future the Edge route won't work, but thankfully now they're streaming to youtube so that's a moot point.
They also issued take downs to other people streaming/commentating over it almost immediately.
