Most of YouTube content isn't music though. Why are they so user hostile - e.g. why can't I listen to talks/podcasters in the background while browsing the internet?
If you're in the US, you can do that with Youtube Red.
If it's true that Chrome on Oreo genuinely prevents picture-in-picture for YouTube specifically , that's a troubling precedent to set. Why not allow all websites to enable/disable PiP (maybe via a meta tag, in the way that tab theme colours already work)? If I query https://m.youtube.com while emulating a Nexus 5X, the response contains: Is that what is preventing PiP on YouTube or is it some sort of underhanded inte…
Shared below too. Just as a quick point and I will drop it in the article comments too. I'm the lead for our Chrome Developer Relations team. Chrome doesn't disable picture in picture for Youtube, Youtube disable it in Chrome. They listen to resize events iirc and then exit fullscreen mode (the only way to currently get to pip mode in Chrome).
E: This is a simple and earnest question. Why the downvotes?
I really hope they updated the audio stack to make latency lower. Right now doing anything sub 10ms with audio is impossible.

Were you aware that Android has built-in tinting capability? It's under Display > Night Light. There's a quick tile for it too.
That's only available on 7.0+ phones with hardware support (currently I think only the pixels?)

It says right in the article that there is a new low latency audio API.
Hopefully we'll see some reviews once hardware and apps make a foray into this new API.
I knew Project Treble was exciting, but this is really interesting: >Treble promises to change everything. Malchev says that Treble standardizes Android hardware support to such a degree that generic Android builds compiled from AOSP can boot and run on every Treble device. In fact, these "raw AOSP" builds are what will be used for some of the CTS testing Google requires all Android OEMs to pass in order to license t…
What features are you referring to? Also, will that be worse than the current situation for Android devices?

Try Firefox for Android - it allows background nedia streaming, and even puts controls in the notification drawer. It also allows adblocking, extensions, has the amazing reader mode which makes the most unusable websites readable again. The current version 55 is a little slower than Chrome on my 3 year old phone, but performance in the past few major versions has definitely improved. The nighty developer build of Fir…
