Notes: [1]: chromium based apps all identify as chromium in the Gnome Volume Mixer rather than by the app name. The extensions therefore cannot reliably control app volume as it is not possible to differentiate between multiple chromium apps. For these players, the extension will fall back to global and adjust the Global Volume instead. [2]: Might not provide metadata when initially launched and the extension might require one or more song skips to start showing data (#42)
