Play youtube in background or while in another tab. #489

Is there anyway to get youtube to play in the background or while in another tab within Via? Even when I click desktop mode it doesn't seem to work.

Do you want to use youtube as a music player?

Do you want to use youtube as a music player?

Being able to hear the audio of a YouTube video in the background allows me to be more productive on my phone. I can't do anything else on my phone while a YouTube video is playing within Via which is very inconvenient.

Any news on this issue?

In order to save power on the device, background tabs are still disabled.

It would be great if I could decide for myself whether to waste battery power on YouTube in background.
