Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

Youtube in Firefox and Chrome captures the media keys, potentially resulting in issues like #1745.

I want Firefox and Chrome to still receive play/stop/rewind keys, but not to receive volume control keys.

Describe the solution you'd like

Is it possible for MonitorControl to capture the key events before the browser, even when the browser is active?
And filter out VolumeUp/VolumeDown keystrokes?

Describe alternatives you've considered

Firefox and Chrome have the feature to completely disable media keys: Firefox has media.hardwaremediakeys.enabled, Chrome has chrome://flags/#hardware-media-key-handling.

Anything else?

What I don't get is that volume keys are not working in Youtube at all, when the browser is active. Looks like MonitorControl already interferes with them somehow?
