It's a Google Chrome extension that lets you control a bunch of online music players using global hotkeys.

It's cool because it's open source! And there are quite a few contributors adding new sites to the extension which is great :). Also, people seem to like it and find it useful.

This is great! I'm always switching back and forth between tabs! Thanks! Why does the app wants to read browser history though?

[aegabriel]

I make use of the chrome.tabs API which (in theory) could be used to store and track a user's browser history, which is why Chrome has started displaying these messages.

Of course the extension isn't actually doing this :). I'm using the chrome.tabs API as a way of communicating to individual tabs in Chrome. If you are interested the extension source is here: https://github.com/berrberr/streamkeys

Was honestly just commiserating that I couldn't use my keyboards hot-keys to start / stop Google Play Music. This is really useful! Thank you!
