ShaderAmp Extension

ShaderAmp Audio Visualizer works on any website.
It works with YouTube, Spotify, Soundcloud and so on.

ShaderAmp is a free, Open Source Audio Visualizer with focus on running shaders from shadertoy.com. However, ShaderAmp is not related to shadertoy.com. Just big fan of the page and the creative content of the users.

We have currently ~150 different shaders/audio visualizers packed in. Try it out!
