Plasma Browser Integration 1.7.6 brings better video management and improved media controls

This release comes with several bug fixes, performance improvements, and translation updates, among others. Integrating the chrome browser into the Plasma desktop allows you to share links, find browser tabs in KRunner, monitor download progress in the notification center, and control music playback from Plasma or even your phone using KDE Connect.

Chrome-based browsers, such as Vivaldi and Brave, have recently changed their user agents to match those of regular Chrome to avoid crashes.

This release brings some improvements to media controls. Sounds and short videos are currently ignored to avoid controlling, for example, a "new message" sound or a short video preview. For websites that do not set the album image via the Media Session API, the video player display is now used as the album cover.
