🚀 Full-screen Note for Enhanced Mode (Mic icon):
By design, Chrome prevents extensions that manipulate audio from entering true full-screen mode. This ensures the blue rectangle icon stays visible in the tab bar, letting you know the extension is actively processing sound. It's an intentional security measure and cannot be disabled. You can still get a more immersive view by pressing F11 (Windows) or Ctrl + Cmd + F (Mac) to enter full-screen manually.
Take control of your audio experience today!

- Does what it says. It does seem to cause crackling every now and then, even when the threshold isn't being hit, but I'll take that over going deaf from accidentally clicking some loud video. I wish there was more clarity on what enhanced mode is though, the plugin doesn't seem to explain, nor does the plugin page.

- Nice job!

- Audio dude here. Exactly what I was looking for, a brickwall limiter. Simple to use and the visual for the "Average" helps greatly for normal users who aren't accustomed to working with just their ears. Tested and works with Volume Master as well. Great extension.
- dell latitude
- the idea is great, BUT when the extension is turned ON it breaks video to enter full screen, instead it leaves the full adress bar, title bar and also adds some dark-colored footer, so it looks like openin a theater mode on youtube, but this is a movie on netflix !!
- noh wei
- wish it worked on soundcloud, other than that very nice!

- Doesn't work on Hulu, which is the reason I downloaded it
- RedKarrot
- This extension is incredible because it allows you to limit the decibels without having to modify the volume of the movie.
- Antonio
- The first extension I've found, which allows you to specifically limit the decibels of content I see My + to the creator
