Disable Global Media Controls doesn't work after most recent update

[PDXfoster]

When using media keys to control playback with a million+ tabs open - it's always total chaos as to which tab is going to start playing something: youtube, music, amazon polly documentation reader, an advertisement video I paused because I don't want to watch it, etc...

Until there's more fine grain control, it doesn't make sense to have dedicated media keys used to control a mostly random tab (selected by whatever tab was last opened?)

Regardless of reason - I had disabled global media controls using vivaldi://flags/#global-media-controls - that's been working great up until the most recent update. Now that setting seems to be ignored.

Expected behavior:

• go to vivaldi://flags/#global-media-controls
• mark disabled
• open youtube video and pause
• hit dedicated play button
• nothing should happen

Actual behavior:

• go to vivaldi://flags/#global-media-controls
• mark disabled
• open youtube video and pause
• hit dedicated play button
• video begins playing

Wondering if anyone else can reproduce this bug

@pdxfoster There's no such flag. Maybe it's been deprecated.

Try chrome://flags/#hardware-media-key-handling instead, it seems to work.
