keep playing youtube videos
Hello !
Before v147 on Android I was able to play a video on YouTube and then shut my screen and the audio would still play and it was amazing but I can't seem to do it anymore since a week or so :/ is it just me ? Thank you

Google has blocked YouTube playback in the background on mobile web browsers other than Google Chrome. Until now, Firefox, Brave, Microsoft Edge, and other browsers allowed users to block ads using special tools, which meant that videos launched in this way would play when the lock screen was activated.
The company is keen to keep this feature as a benefit for premium subscribers. If you want to play podcasts or longer videos without watching them, you have to pay.
"Background playback is a feature designed to be exclusive to YouTube Premium users,“ Google said in a statement. ”While previously some non-Premium users could get this solution in web browsers in select scenarios, we have updated this experience to ensure consistency across all our platforms."
