youtube has internal support. though accessing it is a bit stupid. right click twice on the video. you should get the native context menu. picture in picture should be accessible from there.

Chromium Blog: Notifying users of unclear subscription pages

Every month, millions of Chrome users encounter pages with insufficient mobile subscription information. Surprising charges that come from unclear communication are a poor user experience. That’s why starting from Chrome 71 (December 2018), Chrome will show a warning before these pages, so that users can make informed decisions when signing up to mobile based subscription services. Users will be offered the choice to proceed to the page or go back if they were unaware that they were entering a billing page.

this problem is even more horrible in iOS. tons of apps which say 50rs but when buying it, under it written as something absurd like 200rs per week after initial period of one week. I had to disable touch id purchases on dads phone because of this shit

Chromium Blog: Our commitment to a more capable web

What are the initial capabilities?
We’ve identified and prioritized an initial set of capabilities we feel are critical to closing the gap between web and native, and have already started work on a handful of them. You can see the list by searching the Chromium bug database for bugs that are tagged with proj-fugu.
Personally I’m really excited about the writable file API that make it possible to create web based editors, and event alarms that help perform arbitrary work at some point in the future. But there are plenty more: Web Share Target, Async cookies, Wake Lock, WebHID, user idle detection, just to name a few.
