Skip Silence 5

[vantezzen]

Skip Silence 5 is the next large update for Skip Silence, bringing new features to the extension.

Features:

• Improve dynamic threshold (Adaptive Volume Threshold and speed like NewPipe does, or even better. #36)
• Use tabCapture API (Use tabCapture API #123)
• Store Skip Silence enabled on a per-tab basis (Save settings for "Enable skip silence" and "Volume Threshold" #35)
• Switch to Plasmo

Awesome. Can't wait! I think I'm going to go ahead and buy it now.

This would be a security issue. If it is to be implemented, I think users at least need to know and understand what they're signing up for.

Yes, I agree. The current implementation is only for testing, and I'll probably be removing the complete CORS unblock mechanism as it doesn't really fix the "MediaElementAudioSource outputs zeroes due to CORS access restrictions" as I hoped it would

Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a way to circumvent the CORS restrictions for streaming. Theoretically, I should be able to remove all these restrictions as I'm running in a privileged web extension environment, but I get CORS errors every time - even when loading from the background page.
