      Hello,
      With my keyboard I can pause, skip, stop music, but when I do so with Opera GX opened, there is a strange link instead of the Spotify music currently playing.
      The link is chrome-extension://obhaigpnhcioanniiaepcgkdilopflbb/background_worker.html and after a bit of research it seems that it's a component extension from Opera such as the Speed Dial News one, and it can't be turned off.
      The problem is that I can't control the sound of Spotify with that background worker, do you have any fix ?
      Thanks
      Great browser otherwise

          @Emirakyldz The only solution I found was to disable all component extensions in the lancher shortcut but it disables all these extensions, not only the background worker.

            @Misaijar You can try disabling the Chromium flag opera://flags/#hardware-media-key-handling

              @leocg I did that, but it disables all media key, not only the chrome extension background worker.
              I would like to only disable this one, not every ones.
