## Description

AudioBoost is a powerful Web Extension designed to improve your browser audio experience by using the Web Audio API's GainNode and DynamicsCompressor node. It increases the volume of quiet videos and limits excessively loud sounds for a balanced audio output directly in your browser tabs.

Key features include an easy-to-use enable/disable toggle, real-time VU meter for audio levels, and intuitive sliders to adjust Gain, Threshold, and Compression Ratio. This customizable control lets you amplify sounds when needed and smooth out loud audio for consistent listening. AudioBoost enhances any audio on a tab, ensuring you never miss a detail due to low volume or get startled by sudden loud noises.
