User reviews
The access to browser tabs and your data for all websites seems excessive. However, it does work a little faster than Spotify Desktop-ify or Spotify URL Parser.
This extension and the other mentioned extensions only started working after I reinstalled Spotify through the Windows Store.

Access browser tabs, Access your data for all websites.
No reason for this, if it only needs to look at open.spotify.com. Use the other addon that doesn't do this.
