User reviews

Audiovisualizer is praised for its engaging and diverse music visualizations, reliable beat detection, and developer responsiveness. Users appreciate its simplicity and effectiveness with web music players. However, several users complain that it no longer plays visualization within the same browser tab, disrupting workflows like livestream monitoring. Audio issues such as muting or Bluetooth interference are reported, along with shortcut key conflicts and occasional failures to run properly. Despite these drawbacks, it remains a highly recommended extension for music lovers seeking visual enjoyment.

Pros

Offers numerous and cool visual options for audio visualization.
Effective beat detection providing mesmerizing and fun visualizers.
Reliable and well-maintained by the developer with responsive support.
Works well with web-based music players like Spotify and YouTube Music.
Simple, accessible, and entertaining for music enthusiasts.

Cons

No longer plays audio visualization 'in tab'; it opens a separate window, complicating multi-tasking.
Some users experience audio issues such as muting or interference with Bluetooth headphones when active.
Lack of customizable shortcut keys causes conflicts with browser commands.
Extension sometimes fails to load or work properly, requiring reinstallation or troubleshooting.

My use case: As part of managing a livestream, have a Youtube or Facebook tab open showing the livestream, turn on the audio, and turn on the "in tab" visualizer to play at the bottom of the tab to confirm that livestream audio is working, then mute the laptop audio. The silent visualizer display was a useful "confidence monitor" for the audio. Since this doesn't play "in tab" anymore, I can't use it for this purpose - I don't want to give up my whole screen.

Pretty cool, but please bring back Hexagons! It was me and my sister's favorite visualizer :(

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

audiovisualizer requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
