User reviews
It does what it says on the box, although it would be much better if it could take you go BACK as well. I'm working on a document with a bazillion open tabs, I want to pause the music, it takes me to that tab... now I have to find the one I was at. I wish I could just click it again to return to where I came from.

Works and doing what it should.

Quite simple and effective! I even checked, launched a video in a group of tabs and collapsed the group by clicking on the plugin button, it immediately opened the group and pointed to the target tab. and when several are playing, it goes through each one
