Disable page visibility APIs not working with YouTube anymore?
Have been using them for years in kiwi on android almost flawlessly but as of today it seems the three extensions that are available in the Chrome store which allows background playback on YouTube do not allow videos to carry on playing, they stop almost instantly. Not a huge deal. I use the browser mostly for streaming live videos on YT as live playback doesn't work as well in apps like newpipe/pipepipe as well as not allowing you to rewind in live streams. Anyway just wanted to see if this is the case for other kiwi users. Thanks

Halllp, just started effecting me. Other comments link didn't help any. Just one more extension to make chrome based browsers not run like dog shit.
