[FIXED] Read Aloud's voice appears in the Global Media Controls
When Read Aloud is reading something, its audio track shows up in the Global Media Control panel, but it's missing a proper thumbnail and its name is "chrome-extension://....." which doesn't look useful for user
FIXED in Edge Version 81.0.395.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
Thank you Edge developers.

HotCakeX I think this feature would be useful, but not like in this current form, It should be improved.
- Exactly
HotCakeX I am assuming that's to sync with Windows Media controls. This would be useful when Bluetooth headphones are connected so that the headphones can control the playback.
- They are distracting and strange, they have weird names and no thumbnail. in their current state they are not very useful.
I don't think they should keep it like that only for the super small portion of users that use wireless handsfree bluetooth headsets on their PCs/laptops.- It's quite useful to many people who don't use wireless headphones as well. They can control playback without actually going to the tab or even browser. While this feature should be improved, your reason that only a small number of people use it is not good. Especially since edge is a minor browser with few users. They can't really look at their few users and make feature removals. They are not Google. Or at least, they shouldn't. Also, most people don't care and aren't bothered by it. So your grievance falls to your own justification. Your other criticisms are fair.
