Browser EQ Extension

Browser EQ is a parametric audio equalizer that allows users to control the frequency content of their in-browser audio.

Is the volume level of a video you are watching too low? Is the video game footage you are watching too bass heavy or has a high pitched hiss going on in the background?

Now you can use Browser EQ to filter, boost or cut the audio frequency content of anything you are watching in the browser, whenever you want.

Release Notes:
As of version 1.0.0, there is only one instance of the eq enabled per browser, which means when you toggle the EQ popup on another tab, that tab will take over and the previously EQ'ed tab will go back to its default audio stream.

Right now EQ persists between URL changes and page refreshes, so to close it down completely you need to close the tab (or alternatively toggle the EQ on another page).


Coming soon,

Presets, specified by use cases to give you an easier starting values.
Panning controls, to fix possible stereo problems on the video you are watching.
Ability to turn EQ on/off from the UI without having to close the tab.

Jasmien Komugi (ID: 000000911f9e7bcb) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/03/2021 Really good Extension. Once you got the ropes what all the sliders do its really easy to make your audio perfect. All I would wish for is a feature to save presets. Its a bit annoying having to change the settings back when changing tab. Especially when listening to music and wanting that extra Bass.
