When using Chrome 73+, the new Edge, Brave (any Chromium browser), you are able to use Media Session. It adds the ability to control what’s currently playing in any browser tab without returning to the page that launched it, from a standard pop up menu in the browser as well as with media keys on your keyboard.
Tap the media control icon 
on the browser to use media pop up control, or use the keyboard media keys (skip backwards, play/pause, and skip forward).
