GPlayer
Listen to Gmail's audio
What is GPlayer?
'GPlayer' is a Chrome extension that was developed specifically to resolve a problem with Gmail's audio attachments not playing on Google Chrome version 91.0.4472.77. Gmail's violation of the newly activated Content Security Policy has made it impossible to play audio files directly from the mail platform, and GPlayer is the temporary solution until Google addresses the problem.

Extension summary
GMail's audio attachments started failing to play with Google Chrome 91.0.4472.77. The console shows:
Refused to load media from 'https://mail.google.com/mail/u/...' because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "media-src https://*.googlevideo.com/videoplayback/".
Seems that GMail isn't following the newly activated CSPs. Until Google fixes it, this simple extension resolves the problem.

This isn't working for me. It shows loading, and the audio wont play. Is there something that can be done to make it run?
