HOW IT WORKS
Click the Volume Master icon in your toolbar. A slider appears letting you adjust volume from 0% to 600% for the current tab. Each tab remembers its own volume setting independently.

The extension uses the Web Audio API to route audio through a professional-grade audio chain:
Source → Bass Filter → Voice Filter → Gain → Compressor → Output

The built-in compressor prevents harsh clipping and distortion even at maximum boost levels.
