Its all great, i wanted to request a feature like making some tabs whitlist and blacklist. for example : i have a lecture running on youtube , vs code open and also lofi music being run in other tabs. so what i wanted it when i switch the tabs the lecture is pausing which works great, but i want the lofi to resume at the same time. i guess you understood what i mean, the other tab must play . umm, like adding a pair option.

Hi and thanks for the suggestion! I have added a new feature in 1.10.1 release which allows to disable the extension for a single tab. This allows the music to continue even the tab is changed while still automatically pausing the other video. There's also possibility to add a keyboard shortcut for this for more convinient use. I hope this helps! The release is now in review but should be available in 24 hours.

The icon should go gray when disabled. Besides that great extension.
