Love this extension. Very helpful.
All works perfectly, checked on Soundcloud, Mixcloud, YouTube, DI.FM, Google Play Music, Bandcamp, VK.
Apparently, Key Socket Media Keys aren't compatible with macOS Mojave (yet). Would love to see a fix, since I'm fan of this add-on and want to give 5 stars again! :)
