Extension summary

Analyze keywords

This redirects Spotify content links to the Desktop app. Click on any song/playlist link to test

  • Doesn't navigate away from the current page
  • Auto-closes if opened in a new tab
  • Doesn’t autoplay and interrupt your music
  • Supports all content types (songs, playlists, concerts, podcasts, users…)
  • Can still use open.spotify.com - only redirects direct content link-clicks
  • Strips tracking ID in the link - for better privacy

Open source at [ https://github.com/vazbloke/spotify-desktop-ify ]

This is working great in Brave browser. Thank you (for doing what Spotify should do)!

Works faster than the other option, but doesn't actually close the tab.
