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.

Updated to support various Audible domains and single audiobook views, it matches the Audible button style for seamless integration with the site's interface.

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.
