Browser Media Controls Firefox

Browser Media Controls

Connect browser media to the Browser Media Controls Windows app and Stream Deck integration.

Features & Capabilities

Browser Media Controls connects your browser media to the Browser Media Controls Windows app and Stream Deck plugin, giving you fast control over playing tabs without switching windows.

The extension detects active media sessions in supported browser tabs and sends media status locally to the desktop app or Stream Deck plugin. It is designed for playback controls, tab focus, switching media sessions, widgets, taskbar controls, Dynamic Island, and Stream Deck actions.

Key Features:

Windows App Integration: Connects browser media to the Browser Media Controls Windows app for Dynamic Island, flyout, widgets, taskbar controls, hotkeys, and the Now Playing page.

Stream Deck Integration: Works with the Browser Media Controls Stream Deck plugin for keys and dials, including media controls, media info, switch media, focus tab, close tab, and site-specific controls.

Universal Media Controls: Control media playing on many websites, with dedicated support for YouTube, YouTube Music, Twitch, Kick, Netflix, SoundCloud, and Plex web.

Media Switching: Switch between multiple active media sessions and control the one you want.

Playback Controls: Play, pause, mute, unmute, seek, adjust volume, focus the media tab, or close the media tab.

Real-Time Media Info: Syncs title, site, artwork, playback status, timestamp, duration, volume, and live/paused state where available.

Privacy First: Media data is sent locally. Browser Media Controls does not upload, sell, or share your media history.

Requirements:

  • Browser Media Controls Windows app, Stream Deck plugin, or both.
  • For Stream Deck controls, install the Stream Deck plugin from Elgato Marketplace:

Is Browser Media Controls Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Browser Media Controls requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
