Yeah, I do @musllibc, FOSS & infosec stuff. But now is not the time for a mostly-/only-tech Twitter feed.

      This is an utter shitshow, and if Google doesn't back down on it, Chrome should be made irrelevant.https://twitter.com/antumbral/status/996836266766303232 …

      https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=843427 … It's hilarious that there's not even the slightest attempt to address these concerns before wontfixing it. "We are not using a whitelist, <goes on to explain that it is effectively a whitelist>"

      Everyone shipping Chromium-based browsers should patch out the whitelist, and competing browsers should all make YouTube require explicit user opt-in for auto-play.

      Did you know YouTube uses a fancy browser API to intentionally disable playing videos in the background on mobile to coerce people into buying YouTube Red? Would not be surprised if they strong armed the Chromium team into doing this via management.

      ...or downloading NewPipe?

      NewPipe isn't allowed on the Play Store thanks to YouTube cracking down on anything like that so most people don't know about it.

      Oh yeah, it's on F-Droid. Can't other browsers do background video/audio though? If not, whose decision was that?

          If they implemented https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Page_Visibility_API … it won't work. Chromium has great support for playing background audio / video including a specialized API offering a better experience but YouTube goes out of the way to break even the basic universal support for this.

          I think a simple extension could break the API (preventing YT from detecting it's in the background) in Firefox, couldn't it?

          There's https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-background-play-fix/ … for that but it's quite possible Google would kick them off the Play Store if they knew Mozilla approved and even featured this.

          Seems highly unlikely. It would be a huge shitshow if they did.

          They do stuff like this all the time though: https://www.androidpolice.com/2016/03/01/google-explicitly-bans-ad-blockers-from-the-play-store-except-all-those-ad-blocking-web-browsers-apparently/ …. They removed an ad-blocker for Samsung's browser too (not an OS level ad-blocker):https://www.theverge.com/2016/2/3/10905672/google-samsung-adblock-fast-android-ad-blocker-removal …

          Yeah but that's some random new thing from Samsung, not the most popular non-Google browser.

          It seems Samsung's mistake was making it separate from the browser app which Google currently leaves alone, i.e. they'd remove the Firefox extension if it was distributed via the Play Store.

          However, for non-browser apps, they often do hold them responsible for plugins / extensions they officially make available. Firefox has historically gotten away with blatantly breaking the usual rules for plugins/extensions. It's only supposed to be allowed if they're sandboxed.
