Use Spotify miniplayer on genius.com instead of Apple Music
geniuspot Extension
Replace the built-in Apple Music integration on the Genius lyrics website with the Spotify miniplayer. Because this does not require an Apple developer account, it is not 100% accurate with matching songs, but it is fairly good. It only runs on song pages which already have an Apple Music player on them.
