I just noticed that a video playing in YouTube continues to play when switching to a different tab in Safari. Works great to listen to audio while surfing on another tab. Hope it’s not just a bug. 
Got a tip for us?

Actually it seems to continue playing even if you switch to another app or lock the screen. Pretty funny when you switch back to the tab though as the video races through to catch up with the audio.
