How do I prevent Chrome (Canary, v74) from hijacking media keys?
Chrome Canary (74.0.3703.0) has started supporting media controls (I believe Chrome has added and removed this support many times over its lifetime, but this seems to be another recent addition).
On my MacBook Pro (macOS Mojave 10.14.2 (18C54)), this has the unfortunate effect of no longer allowing the medias key to operate iTunes, even when it is open and/or the focused application.
Does anyone know of a way to turn off this feature in Chrome? I have disabled the flag in chrome://flags (chrome://flags/#enable-modern-media-controls) and restarted the browser with no success.

If you have installed the Google Play Music extension, try to disable or remove it.

@harrymc, yep, thanks, saw that in another answer as well. I didn't have it installed, but I also removed the YouTube 'app' just in case.

@harrymc oops, forgot to mention that part: no, unfortunately uninstalling the app didn't help.
