            No, it's not, I'm using 37 beta running Android 6.0. Edit: I will investigate why Chrome Dev doesn't work anymore, either latest v chocked or moving from default to SD memory may have this effect.

              I noticed this issue too but this change was officially made by Google due to Youtube Red that has background audio
