> Remember why MS switched from EdgeHTML to Blink? Because Google would hamstring EdgeHTML at every corner on their services. Not completely break it, but make Gmail or Youtube a tad slower than in Chrome.

I'm not exactly condoning, nor condemning, that behavior, but there's a little part of me that wants to say to Microsoft: "not so funny now, is it?"

I know Microsoft was notorious for not playing nice with other browsers but I thought that mostly had to do with them deciding to go their own way with non-standard features or simply not implementing standards they don't like

Is there documented evidence that Microsoft stooped this low as well? Did they purposely make their sites not work as well on other browsers?
