Chromecast from desktop chromium works, so there's no reason they couldn't make the universal turing machine in my pocket do the same.

Desktop Chromium is Chrome. iOS Chrome is just Safari with a different interface.

Apple doesn't let other browsers use their own engine on iOS (unless you are located in the EU).

uhh wow. How did Microsoft face antitrust lawsuits for merely bundling IE when Apple is literally forcing their browser?

reply
i've often wondered how Apple gets away with things like this, I guess its because they never gained the marketshare that Microsoft had

Due to EU regulation, you can use a different browser engine in the EU (and I think Japan too), but thus far none have been developed (it's too much work to maintain two versions of the browser).

AirPlay should work for every native video element, or do you mean something like chromecast?
reply
YouTube obfuscates the native video by removing the controls.

Vinegar is a Safari extension that fixes that on iOS and macOS. May exist for other browsers as well.
