    Because Google was blocking this feature on iOS for so long, I switched to the Brave browser, which supports Youtube PiP and it blocks the annoying ads.
    With it, you can even listen to Youtube with the device screen turned off.

      -Trix-, 12 Jul 2022You have $140 phone? No wonder you act so bitter He's taking a dig at iphone users paying 10x for a hardware despite using it like a midrange android phone.

      And don't get us on top end hardware = support thing when Android has features that existed way before they were introduced as "innovations" to IOS.

            There are many phones with Android 11 that still receives updates (security ones).
            Yeah, maybe Android is more fragmentated when you look on paper, but in usage, you can have similar experience even on an Android 9 phone.

                  Lol.. It is because the developer was lazy.. or wanted to earn from Youtube Premium.

                                  releasing the features from MacOS 1 step by 1 step.

                                  MacOS = FullOS of iOS, iPadOS of today.
                                  MacOS Arm = support Apps, Software.
