Anyone else finding this works for pause but not skip forward/back?

I love this extension. It's the best! Or, at least, I saves a lot of frustration. I just started using it on a Pixelbook (Chrome OS), and it only works when I'm actually on the Pocketcasts tab. So that kind of removes a lot of its usefulness. Any ideas on why that might be? Thank you for listening!

Life saver, thank you! I really missed using media keys, and I'm unsure how long it will be in beta.
