Matthew Bugeaud (ID: 0000001420ed4fc8) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 02/02/2023 Pro: Makes my forward/back keys work while using youtube with chrome open. Con: If chrome is not the program currently in use, all media keys (including the ones that worked just fine before) stop working. This works fine if you do almost everything in chrome but if you like multitasking then this actually limits you more.
