- Rated 4 out of 5by AppleMango, 10 days agoEnabling this extension completely disables sound in some websites (like factorio.com). The sound only works when I open the video in a new tab. I have tried the 'none' preset too, but the sound only works when I disable the extension (either using the checkbox or using firefox). EDIT: Github issues shows that this is a Firefox problem, not an extension one. This problem can easily be fixed by disabling it for troublesome sites.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13477423, 3 months agoThe button doesn't even show-up on my toolbar and I don't see it listed when I choose customize. How do I get it to appear?
- Rated 5 out of 5by Bortmechanik, 6 months agoThanks! Very usefull for online video and movie. I'm so tired of endless sound volume adjusting, so this thing is must have for me
- Rated 5 out of 5by Yoksven, 6 months agoIt works. It's very adjustable and the sound is pretty transparent. No audio stutters or any other kind of weird behavior so far. It activates automatically and reliably, unlike some other sound boosting addons that either don't self activate reliably or have to be activated manually every time. It probably doesn't work on every site under the sun, but works on many that my other sound boosting addons weren't working on, and so far, I've yet to encounter a site that this addon can't handle.
The only problem is that you can't change the playback speed on Youtube when the compressor is enabled (and even after disabling it you have to reload the page for playback speed to change), but that's a problem that all volume increasing addons have, so, I can only complain so much about it not being able to do something that all others also can't. Although it would be nice if devs could figure out how to make it work.
But aside from that, it's one of the best if not possibly The best audio boosting addon on Firefox. - Rated 5 out of 5by cvinker, 8 months ago99% sites I've ever used work with it. Set it to medium and forget it, all YouTube videos improved now that I'm not constantly turning volume up, down and up and down over and over again. Thanks!
- Rated 5 out of 5by bl0m5t3r, 10 months agoI use this plugin mostly on Youtube for gamestreams as i got used to FFZ on Twitch which has a build in compressor, this works great. Today i tried it for the first time on Kick.com, seemed to have a few muting issues but i got it working now and works similarly nice. I like the site specific presets a lot, well done.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 17964329, a year agoworks okay when it works, but now it mutes audio on several sites unless i deactivate the extension entirely. might try again in the future but it's broken at the moment.

- Rated 5 out of 5by DrewDeer, a year agoIt's perfect for badly made and unbalanced videos on the internet (one speaker is louder than another in debates, volume drops/spikes etc). Also, I don't have Netflix but I know they usually buy films with mixes for cinema (its cheaper than paying for a new mix) which has huge dynamic range so this can maybe help you reduce it and save you many volume slider adjustments. Thank you very much.
- Rated 5 out of 5by David Glover, a year agoThank you so much for this. I got new speakers and couldn't use the loudness equalization setting for windows on them and was extremely bummed out. This solved that problem for me, huge life saver thanks a ton.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17628591, a year agoIt helps for sure, I needed it to listen to a round table with 4 participants who each have a different level varying from 10 to 15 DB (impression that the velocity is twice as strong or half as weak).
What is difficult is the setting without a VU meter, in order to "see" the lowest level to use it as an "uncompressed" reference, and to be able to "align" the compression of the strongest signals with the weakest. This would avoid "compressing" the signal too much, which would avoid increasing the background noise with the reverberations.
One thing that's missing is the signage and it's hard to understand, for example, if the ratio is 2:1-3:1 or 4:1 or if the attack is in milliseconds or whatever.
I managed to adjust it by ear and I don't need it often so it's fine for me, but for those who aren't too used to it, by reading the comments it seem it's not very easy for many.
It was a good idea to make this plugin, so thanks to the developer. Good job. - Rated 5 out of 5by ttruiett, 2 years agoLove the extension and it does exactly what you'd need it to. My only feature request is to add an option for the extension to be url specific and auto turn off when you change sites. I find it I only need to use it while watching poorly leveled content, and often leave it on when I don't want to.
