So, I realized that the browser music gets annoying when you have to keep turning it off and on. I would like to request an option that is minimally intrusive that detects whether a game is running or not. When a game runs, the browser will turn off the music. We should also be able to add the game path manually. There should be an option to toggle this feature on and off due to whether someone really wants their browser snooping in their running processes.
I should mention that I am posting this believing that the Opera GX team operates in good faith. If this gets implemented and people are finding out it's being used to snoop around the people's devices, I will switch browsers and stop supporting opera gx. I have been using this browser for a little over 2 years and I wanna continue using it. If we have to manually add the paths, I dont mind that, I just wanna see the browser become smart enough to stop music.
The biggest advantage to this is convenience. For it being a toggle, this would ease both people who need absolute privacy and those who want to have their browser running without hearing background music 24/7 and having to toggle it off. For having a manual option, this would allow people to add the game to the browser without it having to snoop your device and it would have an easier time detecting the game running.
What will it do? This feature will look for game instances running, when it detects a game running it will turn off browser sounds like it does with videos being played. After that, it will keep it off till the game is turned off and browser sounds will be enabled again, just like the video player.
