Add a search function

It is absurd that in this day and age, there is no search function.

Hijacks media audio session

I like the updated app but the app will take control of your audio. I can’t play videos using pictures in picture because my other media will pause while opening the app or reading an article. There is no setting to prevent the application from doing this. From someone who likes to listen to music or watch a video while reading the news, this is extremely frustrating.

Tired for surfing

How about adding a search button, I don’t like surfing through everything to see if you have something I want to read. Doesn’t seem like an improvement .
