On: Chrome is not the new IE

[The_rationalist]

Firefox has support for a lot of extensions but they removed most of the support now which is a shame. It allowed me to play YouTube on the background, a feature that make people actually pay YouTube premium music. I wonder if there's a similar extension for kiwi? Basically it just nerds to disable the page visibility and full-screen API + some tweaks

just install "New pipe" from f-droid, it really rocks. Allows you to play videos in background, download video or audio - practically everything. The only issue is that it sometimes breaks when youtube changes its protocol

No, New pipe can only play background videos on picture in picture which is very annoying. Is there a way to get true background playing on newpipe?

BTW you should take a look at YouTube Vanced.

This is not the experience I have. Are you sure you're on the latest version?

Thanks I misused it. One actually has to touch the headphone icon which is not very accessible but it works!
