See how you can't even explain what features Youtube wants to implement that they are so hamstrung by Cobalt.

Or why they are hamstrung by Cobalt at all, since it's by definition a TV app that is not expected to implement all the features of a desktop or a mobile app [1]

Instead, you just go for a personal attack.

So, who's insufferable here?

[1] BTW I literally work on one such app, and the number of features we cannot implement on such a constrained platform as a TV is now probably in the hundreds. Doesn't affect the site, or the desktop app, or the mobile apps.

Edit. BTW, if you think that ditching Cobalt (whose features Google literally directly controls) in favor of browsers running on TVs or gaming consoles will somehow give you great modern browsers with standards support, you know even less than nothing (if it's at all possible).

E.g. we still don't use CSS variables because browsers on a significant portion of TVs that are still in use don't support them.
