A small extension allowing continuous playback of Pandora.
I wanted to be able to listen to Pandora around the house without having to keep clicking a link every hour, so I wrote this extension for Chrome that "props" open Pandora by clicking the "I'm still here" link automatically. It also ensures that the music stream is not paused at any point.
Features
-----------------------
• Clicks the 'I'm still here' link when playing pandora.
• Ensures the pandora stream is always playing to avert pandora's auto-pausing after 4 hours
• You can manually play/pause pandora by clicking the url icon.
Security
-----------------------
IMPORTANT: WE DO NOT STORE OR LOOK AT PANDORA ACCOUNT INFO! Prop open requires access to the chrome.tabs API, but in NO CASE will the extension look at anything personal or save anything.
