About Spotify Auto Pause

Tired of having to manually pause Spotify every time you start watching a video or listening to other content in your browser? Spotify Auto Pause does it automatically. The extension monitors media playback across your browser tabs. When another tab starts playing audio, Spotify Web is automatically paused. When that media stops playing, Spotify can resume playback. ❓ How does it work? Once installed, the extension runs in the background while you browse normally: Spotify playing → other media starts → Spotify pauses Other media stops → Spotify resumes This is especially useful for situations such as: * Watching YouTube videos while Spotify is open. * Watching videos on other streaming platforms. * Listening to content on social media. * Opening a page that starts playing audio. * Quickly switching between music and other media without having to manually control Spotify. ⚙️ Simple control You can enable or disable Auto Pause directly from the extension's popup. When disabled, the extension remains installed but stops interfering with Spotify playback. 🔒 Privacy The extension was designed to perform a specific task: detect the media playback state of browser tabs and control Spotify Web when necessary. It does not need to access the content of the pages you visit to perform its main function. 🌐 Spotify Web The extension was specifically designed to work with Spotify Web and uses the playback controls provided by the Spotify page itself. Spotify Web must remain open in a browser tab for the extension to control its playback. 🚀 Why use it? If you often leave Spotify playing while browsing but frequently start watching videos or listening to other content, Spotify Auto Pause eliminates a small but repetitive task: manually pausing and resuming your music. Install it, keep Spotify open, and browse normally. The extension takes care of synchronizing playback for you.
