That s super annoying btw . Frankly video is best browsed like a traditional multi page listing, like how porn sites do it

But pages are difficult on mobile devices.

So are controls or useful UI or... :D

i dont get why they are difficult on mobile? inf scrolling is worse. Especially on android which has a back button everywhere. I think ppl should be more mindful of the megabytes of javascript that people have to download just to see a list of images

You could in theory do that although the experience would be slightly odd. Either open the video in a new page and put in the bottom right, force focus it after the main window been active. Or wrap the entire websites in two iframes, one for main content and one for video player. Main content can change without interfering with the video player.

Not saying you should do either of these, as the UX would be worse, but you could if you really want to :)
