It's not like Windows Phone didn't have a browser too (IE). And it's not like Apple aren't the ones making sure Safari doesn't support everything for Progressive Web Apps which could have come handy here.

Maybe. Would it work if your browser is on the background while you're reading something from another app on the Vision Pro?
- mananaysiempre 3y ago> Would [Spotify] work if your browser is on the background while you're reading something from another app Not sure about Spotify, but the only thing that stops YouTube’s mobile website from working in the background is its own code. On Android, with the Firefox addon disabling the Page Visibility API for it, it plays perfectly in the background.
- al_borland 3y agoOnly time will tell. From what we’ve seen so far, VisionOS seems more like macOS, where a user will be multitasking across multiple applications in front of them at once. I’d be shocked if a user can’t watch a video or listen to music in one window, while doing something else in another. It would be DOA without that basic function.
