A browser that can't hardware-accelerate <video> if there's an invisible <div> above it is broken. It's a perfectly reasonable thing to do and any other browser can handle that.

I agree that they should have just fixed the issue but my point was that there’s zero chance they’re going to fork blink because their reason for adopting it was google properties doing weird things in their own engine - after enough time google properties will do weird things in their forked engine too.

That doesn't excuse Google intentionally exploiting that bug to attack Microsoft.

Why do you think they were intentionally exploiting it? It's a perfectly reasonable thing for YouTube to do for several of its features.
