I want to play music in a background tab

[reversedpolarity]

I like to listen to music on my phone, but also want to do other things at the same time. I would like to play music in a background tab while I'm reading stuff in my active tab.

Please let me know if there's a way to do this on Android. And if not, would the Vivaldi team consider adding the option?

Hi,

That would depend on the site.
Using Mixlr.com and Pandora.com works that way here.

Where you can't?

Good,

You could check YMusic also.

I would just use another app, not a browser. Maybe it's a NewPipe (available on F-Droid)

Looks nice for those without GServices or Y/G account

@Zalex108 NewPipe is the best YouTube app.

Updates via F-Droid are slow so they recommend to add custom repo to F-Droid.
