Browser extension

Le problem

• MPRIS does not work with Firefox (the issue is open for 3 years).
• Not possible to get the currently playing track from the Chromium browser on Windows/Mac.

Le solution

We can create a browser extension to pass the currently playing track to sptlrx. I see two ways to achieve this:

1. The extension creates an HTTP server. sptlrx sends a GET request to it every X seconds to get the currently playing track. But I'm not sure if it's possible to create one.
2. sptlrx creates an HTTP server. The extension sends the currently playing track every X seconds via a POST request.

Also, there is a thing called Native messaging, but this requires additional research.

I came across WebNowPlaying-Redux extension and immediately started integrating in into sptlrx. You can check it out in the browser branch.
