Media Key Sharer is a powerful Chrome extension that bridges the gap between your keyboard's media keys and media playback across both Chrome and system applications like Spotify. It enhances your media control by allowing you to seamlessly manage playback, skip ads, switch videos, toggle fullscreen, and more, all from your keyboard.

Key features include unified media key control for Chrome and system media, advanced YouTube video control such as skipping ads and switching videos, playback speed adjustments, and video/tab swapping. The extension utilizes the MediaSession API and supports Chrome version 73 or higher. While some edge cases may cause unpredictability, Media Key Sharer offers an innovative and efficient way to enhance your media handling experience within Chrome and beyond.
