Google Chrome to get play button

Google is working to implement a play button in its Chrome browser toolbar, ZDNet reports.

This button will allow users to pause and resume media playing in their browser, regardless of which tab the media originates from.

Oeh that can work, also should add the ability to mute the tab just by clicking the little speaker icon whilst on another tab.

I noticed I can already do this on Windows 10 with my keyboard media buttons.

You already can I thought? FF has it, and I think Chrome was first to implement it.

Or just use streamkeys extension and you can bind a button to do exactly this without focusing Chrome, like from within a game for example

All new Chrome features won't count for anything if they remove the ability for ad blockers to work as they're planning to.

By that time Windscribe's VPN adblock R.O.B.E.R.T will work via the browser extension as well. NordVPN and PIA have a similar feature so I couldn't care any less.

I've yet to encounter a VPN that provides adequate performance in general use, so I'm not a fan of VPN-level ad blocking solutions. Literally not one, and thanks to Humble Bundles I've had 6-12 month subscriptions with nearly all the popular VPNs. Even on my phone they noticeably increase the latency.

What's the max speed and lowest latency you've tested Windscribe to?

Pointless exercise since right now it's Me > VPN Server > Speed test server. Ideally it'll be Me > VPN server...

Set up your own VPN, pretty quick and easy to set up with docker containers, I did it a week ago.

Find a server in PE, or Johannesburg, a cheap VPS is fine, run Ubuntu install, then sudo apt install docker and https://github.com/mendhak/docker-openvpn-adblock instructions.
Then resell your server on MyBB and print money.
