As the title describes, I cannot play/ see HDR YouTube videos - the option is not available any more from the resolution selection.
With previous Edge (prior to 15/01/2020) I could and I could also choose a higher resolution from my screen's native one.
I would like to point out also, that neither Chrome and Firefox provide such option - I really cannot understand why but my issue here is with Edge.
Yes, my screen is HDR capable.
I would highly appreciate any help into solving this matter.
Thank you in advance!

There is not a single soul from Microsoft who can explain to these poor souls why they are unable to access HDR Youtube through Edge?
Just Amazing... after 4 pages of ... time waste.

2020-09-15T02:27:21+00:00 no not edge. normal chrome. edge has been able to do it- i have been using chrome 'beta' version which is able to do it for about 2 months now. i have had a problem with youtube and the horrid layout. i have since been around, up down , sideways gone in a circle . because youtube is determined to not let people have the old layout, so i have actually changed it back many times, for only youtube to thwart me and other people. i have after this got hold of a fix, that i wont be giving out because every time i do youtube change things. SO FOR ME I USE CHROME SIMPLY BECASUE OF A EASY BOOKMARKS and other app situations . however i have found for me edge ok lately. IT JUST SEEMS MICROSOFT are obsessed with mobile ads. i use adblockplus but no good on your phone or other.
