Earful Bridge

Shows every browser tab that plays media as its own player in the Earful GNOME extension. Nothing leaves your computer.

Requires Earful for GNOME (Linux). Install it with one command: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NGdev2/earful/main/install.sh | sh Source and help: https://github.com/NGdev2/earful Three tabs playing, and your desktop only sees the last one. Earful Bridge fixes that. Every tab that plays music or video becomes its own player on your GNOME desktop. Each one gets its own row in the Earful top bar menu: title, artist, cover, play, pause, next and a volume slider. Click a row and the browser jumps to that tab. Where it helps - A playlist in one tab, a podcast in another. Pause the right one without hunting for it. - Music while you work. Skip a track from the top bar and stay in your editor. - Who sings this? A small popup shows the song when the track changes. The tabs also show up in GNOME's own media controls and in playerctl (through MPRIS on D-Bus). What Earful adds - One menu for every player: music apps, video players, podcast apps and browser tabs. - A popup with cover, title and artist when the track changes. - Seven popup designs to choose from. - Focus mode (Super+Shift+M) silences popups. No popups over fullscreen or in Do Not Disturb. Good to know - Next and previous work on sites that support media keys, which most music and video sites do. - Browsers installed from Flatpak or Snap can't start Earful's helper. - Tabs that were open before you added the add-on need a reload. - Right after you add it, the add-on checks for Earful. If Earful is missing, it opens a page that shows how to install it. Privacy No data is collected. Nothing is sent over the network. Title, artist, cover and play state go only to Earful's helper program on the same computer. No analytics, no remote code. Open source, GPL-3.0. Works on Linux with GNOME Shell 46 to 51.
