Since a few days we can play videos in the background in Chrome for Android . Although it is not officially included in its final version, we can already use one of the most popular Android browsers as a background video player .
This new function is quite interesting, since we can, for example, listen to a video while reading an article or, even better , listen to music from YouTube open with Chrome for Android while we do other things.
All this is known thanks to the fact that the developers of Google dropped it . The only thing is that since it is not available in its official version of Google Chrome, we will have to try it in beta format.
