Why don't they just give you the option to only play the video/audio when the tab is active?
Facebook already auto-starts some videos only when they are in view, so the technology is available.
If you want streaming audio, you just have to open up a new window.
- acqq 13y agoExactly: let the user decide "I need this thing to keep playing music/video in the background." But unless he enables it, play it only when it's topmost.
- zavi 13y agoLots of people stream Pandora and YouTube in background. Few people use new windows. Adding a control for users to decide would sacrifice simplicity of UX.
