Anyone using Mulch? Need 2 things from it (lemmy.world)

So I thought it would finally be smart to find a replacement for Bromite. I picked up Mulch, and after an initial shock (I didn't think Bromite has that many enhancements for the basic things), I'm still having two main problems:

Using Lemmy as a pwa doesn't keep me logged in. In the normal browsing mode it works, and so it does in Bromite (incl. pwa). I can't figure out what I could change. Ideas?
Background video doesn't play. Or rather, it always pauses when minimising the app, and I need to resume it in the notification. Stupidly annoying. I couldn't find a solution for this, as most results lead to "Chrome will allow bg video in a beta from 5 years ago" or similar. Can't it just keep playing? I'm not talking about YouTube btw.

These were the primary things I need a Chromium-based browser for, as FF doesn't play nice with pwa nor some video sites.

(I don't feel like installing Brave or similar. I installed Chromium and I booted it after 2 minutes of seeing all the Google crap.)

If you aren't able to find a solution, there is a fork of Bromite that is still maintained https://github.com/uazo/bromite-buildtools

I know about that, but they only provide a 64bit binary and my phone is 32bit. (And I don't have the means to compile myself.)

Btw the fixed its first problem sorta solved itself. After I launch a pwa and pull down to refresh, it logs me in. On the other hand I need to do it in regular browsing too. I dunno what happened.
