Open in Spotify Desktop Client - Chrome Extension

'Open in Spotify desktop client' is a practical Chrome extension, useful for all Spotify users. It is designed to redirect URLs from open.spotify.com or play.spotify.com so that they open in the Spotify desktop client rather than in the web browser. The extension avoids interfering with embedded playlists, analytics, and legacy embed links, minimizing disruptions for the user. Particularly useful for those who prefer to use the desktop client for a more enhanced music experience.
