<p>YouTube for mobile devices received the Picture-in-Picture (PiP) option in mid-2018. First available for the users of the app in the US, the option enabled Premium/Red subscribers to minimise the app but still have a small PiP floating window open to watch videos while switching apps. The availability was later made available for non-premium users and it seems like Google is finally expanding the PiP service for non-premium users outside the US. As per an Android Police report, the feature is now being made available in more countries and the option to enable PiP might pop-up for users in countries outside the US. </p> <p>Google’s support page describing the feature and its availability doesn’t mention if the PiP mode is rolling out. It is still stated that non-paying users of the app in the US can benefit from PiP playback but we expect the support page to be updated soon. Users can check if the option is available for them or not by heading over to the Settings in the YouTube app, which can be accessed by tapping on your profile image on the upper-right corner. The option, if available, should show up under the General menu. </p> <p>Speaking of YouTube, Google recently introduced YouTube Music and YouTube Music Premium services in India. The online music streaming service entered the country with a competitor, Spotify. Since the two have stepped into the online music streaming service space in India, the competition is heating up. JioSaavn and Gaana recently discounted their yearly subscription prices by almost 70 percent and Apple Music also announced a price cut on its service. Apple Music student and family subscription plans are now priced at Rs 49 and Rs 149 respectively, down from Rs 60 and Rs 190. Subscribing to the service on a yearly basis now costs Rs 999, instead of Rs 1,200. </p> <p>Spotify’s monthly subscription is priced at Rs 119, while YouTube Music’s monthly cost of subscription is even lower at Rs 99. As for JioSaavn and Gaana users, they can now avail yearly subscription for Rs 299. Before the price cut, JioSaavn’s annual subscription was priced at Rs 999, while the same for Gaana cost Rs 1,098.</p> <p>Related Reads:</p> <p>Apple Music rivals YouTube Music and Spotify by lowering monthly subscription to Rs 99</p> <p>YouTube Music In India: Ten steps to mastering the new music streaming app from Google</p> <p>Spotify India Free vs Premium: Comparing the two tiers</p>

<p dir="ltr">Noting the lack of basic security features like XSS auditors, a researcher has found a URL spoofing vulnerability on Xiaomi-made Mi Browser and the Mint Browser. The vulnerability, identified as CVE-2019-10875, originates due to a flaw in both the browsers and it reportedly enables a malicious website to control URLs in the address bar. The Mi Browser comes pre-installed in every Xiaomi device with MIUI and Mint Browser was launched globally via the Google Play Store.</p> <p>The researcher who discovered the flaw, Arif Khan, says that the Mi Security team (MiSRC) confirmed that the issue was present in their global versions and not in their domestic ones. Thus, “they inadvertently conveyed the fact that only International versions of their browsers were insecure to this vulnerability,” Khan said. He adds that the bug was accidentally spotted and it didn’t require much effort. He found the vulnerability while he decided to test “a certain feature in their browser.”</p> <p>The researcher apparently noticed the flaw when triying to open a Google query search link through the Mi Browser. “For a link such as http://bit.ly/2D2agly, the URL bar would display www.domain.com, and this is exactly where the problem arises, because the URL bar doesn't display the full URL, and this not only happens in case of popular search engine websites but also with other websites,” Khan said.</p> <p>Those who are using the Mi Browser or the Mint Browser as their default web browser, their device is vulnerable to phishing attacks. Khan adds that it is recommended not to use any of the browsers until the flaw is patched and instead use Google Chrome “because it has a good XSS filter.” As per the researcher, Mi Security team has acknowledged the security issue found by him and he has been awarded $198 ($99 for each browser) bounty rewards. However, it is not yet known whether the vulnerability is patched or not.</p> <p>Related Read:</p> <p>Global smartphone shipments expected to drop for third consecutive year in 2019: IDC</p>
