background.js

• If theirs a play event from the active, last active with media or the mediaPlaying tab or its trusted, Then make the tab top priority and if its audible pause all other media.
• If theirs a pause event from the mediaPlaying tab send a play message to the last played tab.
• If a tab is muted and hidden pause.
• If theirs no message from the content script and a tab is audible there maybe no permission so disable automatic resume.
• If nopermission mode discard tabs instead of pause including otherTabs (if not ignored)

ContentScript.js

• Keep track of the tab state as to not send messages repeatably.
• When theirs a message from the background control the media by changing the playbackRate this works without breaking the autoplay rules.
• If all media on a tab is paused or the playbackRate is 0 send a pause message to background.
• If all media on a tab is muted send a message to background.

WindowScript.js

When a HTMLMediaElement gets played and it does not exist in the DOM add it to a hidden head div and remove it on pause.
