Plasma Integration

Provides better integration with the KDE Plasma desktop.

What is Plasma Integration?

"Plasma Integration" is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your browsing experience within the KDE Plasma desktop environment. It allows users to manage browser functions such as audio and video playback directly from the desktop, even when Chrome is minimized or in the background. It also enables you to check the progress of your downloads in the notification area and wirelessly transfer files to your phone via KDE Connect. To make the extension work, the plasma-browser-integration package is required and is available for Plasma 5.13 or later versions.

This is very good integration. The google Chrome functions smoothly.

Installing Chromium on Fedora 41 KDE Spin results in advertisements in the notification area about this extension. Not sure if it's Chromium, KDE or Fedora offering this 'suggestion', but I do not appreciate this intrusion of my notification area.
