Makes 'Play' button to open Audible cloudplayer in a tab instead of new window which gets lost and not easily accessible

What is Audible Play in Tab?

'Audible Play in Tab' is a Chrome extension designed to open Audible's cloud-player in a new browser tab, rather than a separate window. This provides users an easier way to manage and access their audiobooks. Updated to support various Audible domains and single audiobook views, it matches the Audible button style for seamless integration with the site's interface. Contributions to improve the extension can be made via its GitHub repository.

Very useful since I find the audible window quite annoying as I use it while working and having to pause/play often. This extension is very useful for pinning the tab and switching to it.

Pretty functional in that it display the play button on audible. However, one observation is: it will not go to an existing open tab, rather it opens another tab. Would be nice if it looked for an already open tab.
