detecting browsers is annoying

i discovered the issue when dotsong was trying to scrobble “Instagram”. i had to design this weird detection logic that runs if the process name matches a list of known browsers:

  1. is allow_browsers even enabled in settings?
  2. could we find it on deezer

this feels a bit shoddy because for more niche tracks (which is totally possible if you’re playing them from a browser) it probably won’t be found.

this makes me think i should lookup on musicbrainz instead. i also don’t want to rely on a private API, metabrainz seems more trustworthy especially considering spotify’s latest API changes

also: i think i want to add a few custom discord apps for certain common players, like apple music and spotify so it can be “Listening to Apple Music” and stuff yk?
