Extension summary

A simple chrome extension to stabilize the volume of audio playing across all tabs.

Just install the extension to decrease the volume of media when there is a jarring loud noise (explosion, yelling etc).

I have also included some usability features: ☑️ Customizable advanced settings to adjust the compressor effect ☑️ Icon indicator when audio is being played ☑️ Switch to any tab that plays audio with one click

💬 I am always happy to hear suggestions to improve the extension! Please let me know if there's anything I can do to improve the experience.

It works out of the box, I can finally watch shows in peace. It's an earache reaching for the volume sliders when an action scene comes on and I'm glad this alleviates these situations. I'm just confused about the settings and what they do when customizing. Knee, ratio, attack and, release? What would those happen to do? I'm thinking maybe I can fine tune the stabilizer to a personal preference if I knew.

Saving me watching anything on Appletv, now I don't have to rush to the volume control every time they blast the music 3x louder than the rest of the show.

Causes sound drop-off on videos in many websites (facebook, tik tok, twitter, instagram), I don't advice to use it unless this bug is fixed... it is possible to change the setting and set the threadshold to 100 to fix this issue but not everyone will figure this out by themselves... and much less will even know what the parameters mean and there is no visual help to find the sweet spot or just a documentation to educate people about what they mean...
