Re: No more Schema.org data on YouTube

Ah yes the same for Chromium:
curl -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36
(KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/59.0.3071.109 Chrome/59.0.3071.109
Safari/537.36" --silent https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHSIYGP0l_w | grep
itemprop

Interestingly that worked till a few weeks ago. Crawl all pages with
Chromium to get the pages rendered properly and until now never had any
problems with that. Wonder why they would do that. Do they want save the
few bytes of HTML and few additional CPU cycles? At least thats the
only advantage I can think off.
