YouTube shuts down mobile browser background playback for non-Premium users

YouTube has begun blocking background playback in mobile web browsers for non-Premium users, ending a loophole that had allowed Brave, Vivaldi, Edge, and some Firefox users to play audio or video in the background without a subscription; Google says background playback is exclusive to Premium across platforms, and browser updates aim to close inconsistencies, though some users had previously bypassed the block via user-agent changes.

Microsoft's AI-powered Bing Chat expands to mobile browsers with a twist

Microsoft is expanding its AI-powered Bing Chat to mobile browsers, making it available beyond its own Edge browser. Bing Chat was initially limited to Microsoft's own apps but has since been opened up to Chrome and Safari desktop browsers. The move aims to showcase the value of summarized answers and image creation to a wider audience. Microsoft has seen consistent growth on Edge since the launch of Bing Chat, with over 1 billion chats and 750 million generated images. Additionally, Windows Copilot, powered by Bing Chat, is expected to be introduced to Windows 11 in the near future.

Apple Prevails in Legal Battles Over Mobile Browser Restrictions and Patent Infringement.

The UK's Competition and Market Authority (CMA) will not be investigating Apple's policies on mobile browsers and cloud gaming services after Apple won an appeal that forced UK regulators to drop the investigation. The CMA launched an investigation in November 2021 into the cloud gaming and mobile browser restrictions put in place by both Apple and Google, suggesting that the two companies were holding back innovation and increasing costs for web developers, cloud gaming service providers, and browser vendors.

"Apple emerges victorious in multiple legal appeals"

Apple has won its appeal against the UK's antitrust regulator's decision to investigate its mobile browser and cloud gaming services. The Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) ruled that the regulator, the Competition and Market Authority (CMA), had "no power" to launch such a probe because it did so too late. The CMA opened a full investigation in November into the dominance of Apple and Alphabet Inc's Google in mobile browsers and the possibility of the iPhone maker restricting the cloud gaming market through its app store.
