How to stop Chrome from hijacking your media keys

You can pause music while watching videos in Chrome by accessing the browser's hidden settings, specifically the `hardware-media-key-handling` option, which is set to Disabled. To access this setting, type chrome://flags into the address bar and search for "key" or use a pre-existing link to navigate to it. Once there, you can disable the option to prevent media keys from controlling video playback in Chrome, thus preventing accidental pauses while watching videos. This solution will save users from having to replace their computers if they become frustrated with this issue.
