ryanbr commented 3 weeks ago

Description

Have a toggle option to enable Back ground play in Brave Desktop (and possibly Android)

Address issue like: https://community.brave.com/t/block-youtube-are-you-still-watching-prompt/551171/8 https://www.neowin.net/news/youtube-music-is-discontinuing-free-background-playback-in-canada/ https://www.gizchina.com/2024/05/30/youtube-makes-another-feature-paid-users-respond/ https://www.reddit.com/r/netflix/comments/n4pd6g/how_to_turn_are_you_still_watching_back_on/

Steps to reproduce

  1. Prevent select websites from detecting webview api
  2. Enabled by default
  3. On specific sites

Actual result

Website detects user interaction, stops or limits playback if user minimises or listens/watches content for any long term period.

Expected result

No detection of user from the website

Reproduces how often

Easily reproduced

Brave version (brave://version info)

1.66.118 Chromium: 125.0.6422.147 (Official Build) (arm64)

Channel information

Reproducibility

Miscellaneous information

We currently have some pageview-api checks, but we should option this feature.

Unbreak: https://github.com/brave/adblock-lists/blob/master/brave-unbreak.txt#L27 Experimental: https://github.com/brave/adblock-lists/blob/master/brave-lists/experimental.txt#L9

  1. The pageview-api scripts already set up for this, just needs a gui toggle implemented.
  2. Could also replace the exist background play feature on Android (and ios?) and make it more reliable.
