About this extension
Gain gives you real control over your browser audio.

If a video is too quiet, a stream is mixed badly, or Firefox just does not go loud enough, Gain lets you boost any tab from 0% to 600% using the Web Audio API, far beyond the browser’s built-in limit.

Key Features:
  • Volume control from 0–600% on supported tabs
  • Bass Boost and Voice Boost EQ filters
  • Dark mode, synced across popup and settings
  • Audio tabs list to see tabs currently playing sound
  • Per-site volume memory for faster repeat use
  • Default volume setting for newly activated tabs
  • URL-change reset to prevent boosted settings carrying into a new video or stream
  • Playlist-friendly option to keep settings when the URL changes
  • Blacklist and whitelist for site control
  • Click-to-use activation with optional per-site persistent access
  • Dynamics compressor to reduce distortion at higher gain
  • Live toolbar badge, color-coded by volume level
  • Keyboard controls: arrow keys adjust volume, Shift + Arrow Key adjusts in larger steps
  • Direct number entry for precise volume control

Privacy:

Everything runs locally.

No accounts, no tracking, no data sent anywhere — ever.
