StereoToMono - Simple Audio Monofying Extension for Chrome

StereoToMono is a handy Chrome extension designed to convert stereo sound into mono from any video or audio currently ongoing on the supported pages. By blending contents of left and right speakers, it enables users to hear the same sound from both inputs, making it useful when the stereo sound leans heavily towards one side or to simply enjoy audio through a single speaker. The extension is activated with a simple click and a page reload allows for a sound reset.
