No longer plays YouTube in background

The ONLY reason I had this browser was because it could play YouTube in the background (aka with the app minimized). The newest update removed this, so I’m deleting it. Chrome and Safari are better browsers. If you’re concerned about privacy, Firefox is better. Dolphin no longer has anything worthwhile to offer.
Was great before/long ago, not anymore.

This used to be a great app, but that is no longer the case. Technically, you can still browse the internet (hence 2 stars instead of 1), but it is no longer designed to focus primarily on a good user experience. That is sad to me given how much I liked Dolphin Browser in the past. The sponsored shortcuts keep getting added back (profit chasing or just bad programming?) and you can’t use the open in new tab/open behind tab feature when holding down on a link anymore (one of the best design features in the past). I see there are data privacy concerns from others, but now the functionality benefit is gone too. The forced shortcuts getting added back often are very annoying/disconcerting, and that makes the user feel like their personal preferences/experiences are low priorities to the developers/owners. Time for me to stop using what was a great app for a new app, hopefully one where the developers and owners didn’t abandon the user’s interest so badly.

Review by this person is spot on! Been using Dolphin browser for a long time now and have watched it’s decline. I give up! Now I’m off to find something better.
