What are your thoughts?

Especially annoying as more educational stuff is put online. You pause to look at a graph and surprise you can’t.

They’ve recently changed the behavior in the YouTube app so when you try to stop casting from your phone to a Chromecast (just about the only way I watch) you just sever your connection between phone and TV. The Chromecast will still be running YouTube and can be controlled by my TV remote. This death grip on the pixels on my screens is just… Sad.

No issues with smarttube!

not if I use Vivaldi as my primary internet browser
