@David Rubino
I want to know something. Is it possible for the team to work on webRTC for chromium dealing with audio for application windows? I'm trying to figure out why that specifically doesn't have audio. Is there some documentation stating the reason or can I get a reason?

Another useful feature would be to allow us to target browser profile in which links open. For example - I have Personal and Work profiles. Personal has extensions and stuff like music playlists , while work is purely for work systems. When clicking on a link from an email for example I'd like to target my work profile. Ideally this should be done via a selector (similar to the default app selector in Win10), or have the ability to set a profile as the ultimate 'default' browser (eg on my work machine I'd set my work profile as that).
