Cast tab audio to Sonos over your local network. Self-hosted, fast, private. Requires the Thaumic Cast desktop app or server. Thaumic Cast streams audio from a browser tab to your Sonos speakers over your local network. It is self-hosted, which means it runs on your machine and stays on your network. No accounts. No cloud. Just sound going where you told it to. This extension is one half of the system: - The extension captures audio from a browser tab. - The Thaumic Cast Desktop app (or headless server) running on the same computer receives it and streams it to Sonos. Getting started: 1. Download and run the Thaumic Cast Desktop app (or headless server) from the latest release: https://github.com/brew-lab/thaumic-cast/releases/latest 2. Install this extension. 3. Click the extension, pick a Sonos group, and start streaming. Notes: - The extension connects to your local Thaumic Cast server on http://localhost:49400 (it may use ports 49400 to 49410). - If you use a firewall, allow 49400 to 49410 over TCP. Permissions: - Tab capture: required to capture audio from the tab you choose. - Tabs: required to identify and manage the tab you are streaming. - Storage: saves settings like your preferred server port. - Power: helps keep streaming stable during long playback. - Host access to localhost: used to talk to the local Thaumic Cast companion app. Project and support: https://github.com/brew-lab/thaumic-cast Trademark note: Sonos is a trademark of Sonos, Inc.

Tab Suspender, Memory Saver & Ad Blocker — Web Boost by SuperchargeBrowser
Suspend inactive tabs & free up RAM. Block ads, trackers & popups. Speed up page loading. Lightweight, privacy-first. Zero tracking. Speed up Chrome and save memory. SuperchargePerformance suspends inactive tabs to free up to 95% of their RAM, blocks ads and trackers to cut active tab memory by up to 50%, and optimizes page loading — all built on Chrome's latest APIs. Chrome's built-in Memory Saver only suspends tabs. SuperchargePerformance goes further: it reduces memory on your active tabs too, by blocking the ad scripts, trackers, and third-party code that consume the most resources. A modern, safe alternative to The Great Suspender, FasterWeb, and McAfee Web Boost. 🔒 ABOUT PERMISSIONS Chrome requires "read and change data" permissions for tab suspension and network-level blocking. SuperchargePerformance uses these permissions only to optimize performance — we never track, collect, or transmit your browsing data. Zero telemetry. Every optimization runs locally on your device. SuperchargePerformance optimizes Chrome at every level — from idle tabs consuming RAM in the background, to the ads and scripts slowing down the page you're reading right now. Suspend Inactive Tabs Automatically frees RAM by suspending tabs you're not using. A single tab uses 50–300 MB of memory; a suspended tab drops to under 10 MB. Audio-aware — tabs playing music or video are never touched. Adjustable timing: 15-minute, 5-minute, or custom intervals. Block Ads, Trackers & Annoyances Intercepts ads, trackers, analytics, and malicious sites at the network level using Chrome's built-in content filter — the fastest, most secure blocking method available. Prevents memory-heavy ad scripts from ever loading. Three levels from common ads to maximum protection including phishing sites. Updated 2026 blocklist with 100,000+ obsolete rules purged for accuracy and speed. Reject Cookie Banners Automatically Detects and declines cookie consent popups on 100+ different sites. No more clicking "Reject All" on every site. Removes overlays without breaking page scrolling or layout. Stop Video Autoplay Prevents videos from playing automatically in the background, saving CPU and bandwidth. Two modes: Allow Common (permits YouTube and conferencing tools) or Block All (stops everything including muted hover previews). Control Third-Party Scripts Manages external scripts that add page weight and slow loading. Three levels from blocking social widgets and comment sections to blocking all third-party scripts with critical exceptions for login and payments. Preload Pages on Hover Predicts your next click and starts loading the page before you click it. Uses Chrome's native preloading for instant page transitions. Same-site or all-pages modes. Safe Mode If an optimization breaks a page, Safe Mode detects the issue and shows a one-click recovery toast. Disables optimizations for that tab so you can keep browsing — no need to disable the extension or dig through settings. Prioritize Visible Content Loads on-screen content first and delays off-screen images, iframes, and scripts. Pages become interactive faster because resources you can actually see are loaded first. Optimize Web Fonts Blocks heavy custom web fonts and substitutes fast system fonts. Reduces download size and speeds up text rendering. Three levels from removing non-essential font variants to forcing a single optimized system font. Predictive DNS Prefetching Resolves domain names before you need them. Pre-connects to your most-visited sites so pages start loading instantly. Need Figma, ChatGPT, or Google Docs to stay alive in the background? Whitelisted sites bypass all optimizations AND are protected from Chrome's own tab discarding — your important tabs won't lose state or reload when you switch back. One click to whitelist. WHO IT'S FOR • Chromebook users on 4GB/8GB devices — stop the lag and freezes that come from too many open tabs. • Laptop users who need longer battery life — less background activity means less heat and more runtime unplugged. • Anyone with 20+ tabs open — Chrome wasn't built for that. This extension is. Track your impact: total RAM saved, ads blocked, scripts controlled, time saved, and pages optimized — all calculated locally from your actual browsing activity. SuperchargePerformance never tracks, collects, or transmits your browsing data: • Every optimization runs locally on your device • No browsing history, search queries, or page content is collected • No cloud servers, no accounts, no sign-up required • Built on Chrome's latest security model Available in 28 languages. Works on Chrome, Chromium, Brave, and Edge. Free to use. PRO available for power users who want maximum control.

Pausing these other apps can help establish a stable connection. If that does not help, please re-install the extension and finally contact our support using either the "Support" page in the Chrome Web Store or by sending us an email at: support@casttosonos.com YOUR PRIVACY, OUR PRIORITY: A Transparent Look at How Cast to Sonos Handles Your Data We take privacy seriously and are committed to transparency about how our extension works and what data it accesses: ➤ Secure Sign-In: Your login is done through the Sonos website, so we never see or store your password. You can confirm this by inspecting the login window and checking the URL to ensure it's Sonos. ➤ Limited Data Storage: We only store a temporary access key to communicate with your Sonos system, with no other personal data stored. Analytics are minimal and limited strictly to operational needs. ➤ Easy Data Control: Instantly revoke access through your Sonos account or directly within the extension. Right-click on the Cast to Sonos icon, select "Options," and choose "Clear data" to remove settings and access keys. For those seeking extra privacy and performance, enable the "Disable front-end scripts" option. This feature prevents the extension from adjusting background colors to your current open tab, but reduces page load times. However, this script is highly optimized and runs only after a page has fully loaded so you will probably not see a difference. ➤ Free Plan: Access basic casting features and enjoy standard audio quality. ➤ Premium Trial: Explore premium audio fidelity with a free trial of our enhanced sound quality. ➤ Premium Plan: Upgrade to premium for high-fidelity audio and the best streaming quality your Sonos speakers can offer.

No, Cast to Sonos works alongside your Sonos app, allowing you to control playback, volume, and device selection from either platform. ➤ Why is there a delay? While casting from your browser can introduce a delay due to network streaming, Cast to Sonos now automatically solves this with frame sync technology that measures your Sonos delay and syncs video playback to match. You can customize this behavior in the extension settings (right-click the extension icon and select "Options").
