единственное нормальное расширение которое работает как надо, искал расширение которое автоматически продолжает воспроизведение предыдущей вкладки после того как нажимаешь паузу на нынешнюю, например в сценарии Когда слушаешь на бэкграунде музыку и хочешь посмотреть какое-нибудь видео для работы, и чтобы не переключался между вкладками нажимая паузу и стоп. Ну как на телефоне.
