Deezer Shortcut

Shortcut to Deezer in window as app with media keys support

What is Deezer Shortcut?
The Chrome extension, 'Deezer Shortcut', converts Deezer's online music platform into a distinct window, akin to a standalone app. Providing easy keyboard media controls, the extension enhances user experience and ease. It also offers window manipulation through Shift clicks on the window's Close and Minimize buttons. However, it exhibits restrictions on Google and Facebook logins due to isolation and implementation by Deezer.

Summary

This app acts as simple shortcut that creates deezer.com in own window (not tab) and binds media keys to Deezer controls.

This way the Deezer works like chrome-powered app and not just some site opened in Chrome.

You can change titlebar position by holding Shift and clicking on Close button. You can maximize window by holding Shift and clicking on Minimize button.

!! Google and Facebook login don't work cause of isolation and implementation by Deezer. !!

NOTE: this app is NOT developed by Deezer. NOTE2: this app is developed for me, to make listening music with Deezer simpler, so something may not work

9/10 - 5 stars - would be nice to choose within the app where the sound goes so i can route it to my headset not my speakers without changing the default sound device
