We reported yesterday that Microsoft’s new Chromium-based Edge suddenly stopped working with Google’s Meet website, raising the spectre of the browser battles continuing even after Microsoft adopted Google’s rendering engine.

In a statement to the Verge however Google denied that they blocked the Edge Insider browser intentionally, saying that the Meet website in fact only allowed a short list of browsers, which does not include Edge, in. They explained  the video calling service worked on a whitelist, and that the first Edge build still used the Chrome user agent, while later ones use the proper Edge user agent, and therefore was blocked.
