Review summary

The Audio Compressor add-on is highly praised for cross-site effectiveness, per-site settings, and vocal clarity via dynamic compression, plus convenient presets. However, several reviews report site-specific audio failures (Twitch, GitHub, Factorio) and occasional artifacts or inconsistent behavior on certain pages. Overall, it's a valuable Firefox extension for balancing volume and protecting hearing, with notable room for improvement in site compatibility and consistency.

Pros

Works across many sites (YouTube, Twitch, Netflix, Spotify, and more) and handles varying volumes between streams and videos.
Remembers per-site (per-page) settings, so each website keeps its own compression profile.
Dynamic range compression reduces loud spikes while keeping dialogue audible, with optional boost for quiet sections.
Offers presets for quick, one-click adjustments and generally doesn't require refreshing tabs.

Cons

Site compatibility issues can cause audio problems on some sites (notably Twitch, GitHub, and Factorio), including muted or missing audio when enabled.
Audio artifacts such as phasing or doubling can occur on certain configurations.
Results can be inconsistent across sites or setups, with some users reporting little or no effect on certain pages.

2025-11-28	St*****	What a game changer!! My ears used to get blasted by tinnitus level loudness from watching twitch streamer who don't have a limiter on their stream or when their limiter suddenly stopped working mid stream, I had to constantly readjust my amp volume everytime that happened. But now I can just click one of the preset button on this extension on the page I want, and forget it. Thank you based dev
