## Review summary

User reviews show mixed experiences: when the Audio Equalizer works, it can noticeably improve audio quality (clarity, bass control) and is praised for being user-friendly and among the better Firefox EQ options. However, a large share of reviews report instability, including site breakage, video playback/format errors, and inconsistent performance across sites (YouTube/Discord) and browsers. Some users also note memory/stability issues. Overall, the addon can be effective but is frequently unreliable, with significant compatibility and stability problems across many popular sites.

### Pros

- Helps with poor-speaker setups by reducing certain frequencies
- Simple, usable control panel/interface
- Regarded by some users as one of the best Firefox EQ add-ons
- Often praised as reliable when it works/displays solid performance in favorable cases

### Cons

- Breaks websites and video playback across multiple sites
- Does not work on YouTube and other sites (Discord mentioned) or often has no audible effect
- No video with supported format and MIME type found errors occur on multiple videos
- Inconsistent performance across sites/browsers; works sometimes, but often breaks or is unstable
- Memory usage and stability issues after extended use (potential performance impact)
