I can't think you enough for this addon, and I suddenly realized I hadn't yet. I've been using this (for years!) to make potato-quality lecture and panel videos watchable (lowering horrible mouth clicks and smacks and etc volume while raising human speech volume); it enables me to enjoy videos I wouldn't be able to otherwise. It's invaluable to me.

This extension is simple and it works, and I appreciate it very much.

the author is underselling the add-on in the description, as it does not just increase audio, but normalizes. I use it on streaming video where sound effects or music are annoyingly loud while dialog seems rather faint. Paul, you should brag more :)

Absolutely beautiful, you're a life saver.
By the way, is there any way to keep this on? It seems that every time I restart Firefox I always have to click again to turn it on.

Audio normalization / compression. The description doesn't describe how much of a blessing this addon is. It compresses the dynamic range within your browser, with no noticeable delay. NO MORE VIDEOS WHERE ONE PERSON IS SILENT AND THE OTHER ONE IS VIOLATING YOUR EARDRUMS!!!

Also, it makes everything louder. A bit too loud, actually. Having the video on 1/100 and windows mixer 1/100 isn't quiet enough for me and I need to turn to other methods, but at least the audio is compressed.

This does exactly what I hoped for. It compresses "normalizes" the audio so that there is no inconsistency in volume levels and outputs every moment at the same decibel. Now you wont get insanely loud jumps in audio or quiet moments will be brought up.

Wouldnt recommend keeping it on for all videos/music, because *any* audio compressor can squash the audio, on properly mastered videos/songs.

I would love to see some more controls here though. maybe not just a master volume [ceiling] leveler, but also a level to control how quiet the audio is allowed to be with a Floor setting. I believe this would be the threshold. that way you could control the window of room that the audio will be output. However the setting the creator has, is just fine and doesnt have any noticeable over compression sound

Boosts low volume videos, and caps high volume videos. Super simple and -exactly- what I needed.

OMG! You are an ear savior!
Thank you very much, I am so tired of keeping my hand over the mouse with the finger over the scroll button just beacuse someone
didn't know how to properly master the audio of a simple video with a person talking with audio afect's added to make the video
more fun to watch, but the problem is that the audio efects are usualy too loud.
This extension saves videos like a lot of podcasts that I'm watching now bercause of quarentine.
I don't know how to thank you enough, what I can say is that the loudness correction of the windows don't compress the audio as
much as your do, but is not efective because it lower the volume after the aduio gets too loud, so the loudness of the winodws
was made to keep more fidelity but at the same time sacrifices constancy of decibel level.
Your extension is perfect for people talking in videos.
The loudness of windows I would use in movies but only if the movie doesn't have too many songs in it.

Works like an audio compressor, it dynamically increases the level when it's too low. Great add-on!

Absolute life saver.

This is an awesome awesome plugin! I sometimes listen to poorly recorded audiobooks and podcasts off of youtube and hate volume spikes and dipping levels.
Would love to be able to fine tune the compressor though, since it boosts hum and noise a bit too much imo.

Very underrated extension. Does exactly what it says, and does it well. I do agree with some people that the icon should really be more noticeably different between ON and OFF, but that's relatively minor.

I watch a lot of Youtube videos and I'm so sick of starting a video and setting my volume to it only to have the person talking start YELLING much louder than they talk or outright scream laugh into their mic. This helped a lot to control that.

This is great for press conferences in which you wouldn't otherwise be able to hear the reporters' questions.
