- Reduce amount of permissions needed.
6.0.11
- Fix bug which affected playing on youtube, things should be more stable now.
6.0.10
- Less crazy default settings for Spectrum Analyziz
6.0.9
- Disabled a couple of butter-scenes that were laggy.
6.0.8
- Chrome update broke utilized functionality, cannot set runtime.Port.name directly anymore, resulted in extension throwing exception and not being able to pass audiodata to scenes. now fixed by passing name in object to chrome.tabs.connect.
6.0.6-7
- Added option `opacity` to SpectrumAnalizyz
- Made ProceduralTerrain lower poly by default (you can still choose whatever poly resolution you want in scene-settings)
- Added option `FadeControls` (fades controls out when mouse is not over controls when enabled)
6.0
- MilkDrop support added (from butterchurn ttps://github.com/jberg/butterchurn) !!
- More support for this will be added, like possibility to create and use custom MilkDrop plugin
5.2
- Make custom ProceduralTerrain scenes work, they were bugged.
- Make transparent background work in proceduralTerrain
- added scene: DacingCubes3DSinus
- added scene: DacingCubes3D
- added site for sharing scenes
- added scene: DancingCubes
- added option: 'LatencyHint', default value is set to: 'playback'.
Earlier we always used 'interactive', but that caused choppy sound on some browser versions.
'playback' option is less precise than 'interactive', so if you dont have any choppy-issues with 'interactive', you should run 'interactive' :).

- (2023-08-26) Javan Ochoa: doesnt work
- (2023-07-16) Alexander Popov (AlexWayfer): It's kind of working, but breaks the audio and not sticking (at Deezer).
- (2023-06-28) Amy u: For some reason whenever I want to use It, It mutes the music which Is weird. Other then that cool extension.
- (2023-06-04) Saro Amani: It is awesome.
- (2023-02-15) Emma Behrens: I love the visuals, it makes listening to techno really fun and stuff but it makes the music glitchy sometimes, it's really annoying
- (2023-02-08) Ubaidullah Murad: It's awesome for an easy way to add visualizations to spotify (includes milkdrop)
- (2023-01-18) Danieru: Pretty laggy on amd a8 5600k apu.
- (2023-01-06) Matt LaVoie: I've been wanting something like this for years, thank you!
- (2022-11-17) Thom Patton: Been using this beast for years. I love the visualizations with any music. A great selection of presets, too! There is a bug when hitting Ctrl+Q to start or stop Visualizer that seems to disconnect YTMusic from the sound hardware, requiring a reload of the page to fix. This is fairly annoying when I just want to downvote a song or skip ahead in my playlist.
- (2022-11-15) TNS: The details are inaccurate
- (2022-11-02) Jake Miller: The milkdrop visualization is incredible, ranging from night sky, to ocean with constellations. 3D synthetic material panes, drops. Color chasing, etc. Tons of high quality variety for free.
- (2022-08-26) ARClegend_18: It's wild mate. Awesome tool if you want some trippy visuals for your music. Also good for just trippy visuals in general. Easy to use.
- (2022-08-17) Superk 05: One of the best things i have experienced in a while also some pretty good wallpaper material!
- (2022-08-14) Jake Vanderrol: Awesome, everyone that had Win Amp back in the day thanks you. It's pretty damn awesome!
- (2022-07-23) Daniel Toruno: This is my new favorite thing on the internet. Thank you so much for these inspiring and easily accessible visuals.
- (2022-07-08) Jason: Thank you for this, would love to see continued updates and build a sub model!
- (2022-07-04) Charles Gibbs: The visuals are so cool and really accompany the music, if you get this, make sure to listen to some Hendrix, it is an experience, no pun intended.
- (2022-06-09) Mac Parise: does not work for opera extensions
- (2022-05-12) Fun zone: Don't use if your computer is slow like mine.
- (2022-03-30) Ivanna Marcano: THIS EXTENSION IS SO COOL ITS LIKE GOING ON AN ACID TRIP
- (2022-03-30) CJMH: Absolutely Fantastic! Is there any way it can be used against the audio feed without having it over the screen that is managing the music, so you don't have to stop the visual or go transparent to control the music?
- (2022-02-18) Luke Flegg: Errr... wot. This is insanely incredible for a "just works" Chrome extension. Damn. Best kept party trick
- (2022-01-18) Kalle Almqvist: Almost perfect, Would be cool if I could set it to only show scenes that does not flicker so much. Seems like I can spend some time configuring this tho.
- (2021-12-03) Areej: Really cool visualization and I really like it, but it gets super glitchy. If I try to mirror it to the tv it ends up being laggy and even more glitchy. If they just fixed this issue it would be perfect.
- (2021-11-01) Atle Magnussen: Awezome
- (2021-10-05) Foaming Hippo: This stopped being a chrome extension when the shapes became 4d
- (2021-08-13) Kelvin Copeland: So simple, so wonderful. Good job!
- (2021-06-11) Marcos Estêvão Cardoso: Existem coisas na vida que são a pura expressão da arte, esta extensão é uma delas.
- (2021-05-09) Vanya Kashaed: Наконец-то нашел это приложение!
- (2021-04-04) paw lean: wow. just wow
- (2021-03-30) Thomas Salmon: Wow, stunning little extension that works really slick. Yay, it's like WinAmp in your browser! Nice job and very easy to manage.
- (2021-03-22) I like Portal 2 ΔΔΔ: It looks great, but I would like SpectrumAnalyzis to have a function so that the gap between the strips could be adjusted, as well as for the spectrum to take sound from one tab and show it to another
- (2021-03-18) everymo: looks absolutely AMAZING found this on my school chromebook by accidentally pressing ctrl+q thanks random dude that used to use my chromebook and somehow downloaded this
- (2021-03-15) Willehado Leano: Pretty Good and seems to run Smoother than the Butterchurn extension this is based on.....but the PROBLEM is....it covers the entire page contents that is running this extension UNLIKE the Butterchurn extension which can run on a seperate window. This NEEDS to be able to run on a separate window....I use a Web based DJ app and run this but it covers the Turn tables so that I cannot DJ.....with Butterchurn I click on the extension and it pops up on a separate window. Please add this ability!
- (2021-03-09) Jay-ar Sareno: Excellent. Can even share custom presets, thanks!
- (2021-02-01) James Bird: The best visualizer available in chrome extensions. Lots of scenes and apparently adjustable scene settings, but the prebuilt ones are good enough for me. Really good job by the developer. bug: Sometimes fails to re-enable audio when closing the visualizer, easily fixed by refreshing the page, but annoying, as i lose my place in the currently playing song.
- (2021-01-30) fred「Amidweiz」 fuchs: Fantastic audio visualizer, the only thing I'd suggest is to be able to run the visualizer when playing files locally through chrome when opening a file.
- (2021-01-29) Levente Csapó: a bit buggy and sometimes messes with the audio but some of the effects are crazy, i swear the visuals in MilkDrop are like having a fever dream x10 this is honestly amazing
- (2021-01-28) SkysLimitGaming: nice but bass is too sensitive and WHY DOES IT SAY IM SHARING MY SCREEN?????????????????????? r u tryna get data stop it. I cant have you always watching my screen
- (2021-01-17) Dave Lapsley: Attempting to fix problems previously experienced, this is what seems to happen every time. (Reinstalled 5 different times so far.) Upon install, it works absolutely perfectly. Crystal. No complaints. For about 20 minutes, maybe 30. Despite music still playing, the visualizations just stop. At this point a manual scene selection will occasionally work, but it remains fixed. Otherwise, with all the settings the same, restarting the browser etc and restarting the visualizations is when the chopped lag renders the computer and the audio unusable. Uninstalling and reinstalling works and I'll have another 20 or 30 of perfect function again.
- (2020-12-29) Дмитрий Токарев: Самое лучшее из имеющихся
- (2020-12-25) Mathew Casillas: very beautiful pictures being created by audio with this extension. what did you use to make this? i would love to make some nice pictures with the same amazing effects...
- (2020-12-24) Maxwell Darwin: I really love this visualizer, but the only thing I would like to do is create a playlist of visuals. I don't like all of them and I want the ability to remove some and keep a list of favorites. Please add this. It doesn't seem like it would be too complicated to do. Thank you for making this.
- (2020-11-26) Jason De Sante: Difficult to use on mac, can't rebind hotkeys (hotkey to start is same hotkey to close chrome on mac). Can't use with music on computer. So you can get a beautiful visualizer with bad sound quality, or good sound quality with no visualizer. I would much rather this program be able to listen to the OS' sound, because I'm not going to compromise sound quality just for nice visuals.
- (2020-11-06) • HeyDud3s •: It doesnt actually match with the music, you can pause it and it keeps going.
- (2020-10-25) Josh Bauer: This is amazing... I was skeptical that any Chrome extension could really do this... thanks for proving me wrong :) "Hexagon" is my favorite option by the way
- (2020-09-15) Agoston David: almost perfect. I have an 100hz monitor and as I can see the visualisation caped at 60 FPS
- (2020-08-04) Anthony Nguyen: Feels like the controls could be more clear. Is this supposed to be audio reactive? Can't seem to get it to react to the music.
- (2020-08-01) Денис Дмитриев: Отлично! Самое то для Яндекс музыки!
