spotify use chromium for video ad

Spotify use chromium for videos ad, but the extension mutes just Spotify.

I just saw a video ad so I dumped the MPRIS data. Looks like the filter for mpris:trackid should still work, so it would just be the mixer sink filter that would need to be modified. @danigm Does it seem feasible to update the mixer sink filter to include chromium as well? I'm trying to think of what the unintended effects would be ...

Here's the MPRIS data dump:

$ dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get  string:'org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player' string:'Metadata'
method return time=1686840708.549485 sender=:1.438 -> destination=:1.444 serial=67 reply_serial=2
   variant       array [
         dict entry(
            string "mpris:trackid"
            variant                string "/com/spotify/ad/252fb46a7c740baa771dc45139abe654"
         )
         dict entry(
            string "mpris:length"
            variant                uint64 30054000
         )
         dict entry(
            string "mpris:artUrl"
            variant                string ""
         )
         dict entry(
            string "xesam:album"
            variant                string ""
         )
         dict entry(
            string "xesam:albumArtist"
            variant                array [
                  string ""
               ]
         )
         dict entry(
            string "xesam:artist"
            variant                array [
                  string ""
               ]
         )
         dict entry(
            string "xesam:autoRating"
            variant                double 0
         )
         dict entry(
            string "xesam:discNumber"
            variant                int32 0
         )
         dict entry(
            string "xesam:title"
            variant                string "McDonald's"
         )
         dict entry(
            string "xesam:trackNumber"
            variant                int32 0
         )
         dict entry(
            string "xesam:url"
            variant                string "https://open.spotify.com/ad/252fb46a7c740baa771dc45139abe654"
         )
      ]

I don't know if it's possible to detect which chromium is the one related to spotify... In other case, muting all chromiums could be a solution, I think it's not a common user case to have music and something else in chromium browser, but to solve that user case maybe we can add a configuration to enable/disable the chromium mute.
