Volume Limiter

About

A precise audio limiting extension that protects your ears from sudden loud sounds while maintaining audio quality.

Features
Enjoy true peak limiting that only reduces sounds above your chosen threshold, without affecting normal playback. Control the limiter precisely from 0 to -140 dB with 0.1 dB accuracy. The extension responds instantly with zero latency, works across all tabs and websites, and includes special handling for YouTube videos. It also adapts to your dark or light system theme, or you can choose manually.

How It Works
Unlike simple volume reducers, this extension uses professional-grade audio limiting. Sounds below your chosen threshold play at full quality, while only sudden peaks are reduced. This preserves natural dynamics and prevents any loss in audio quality during normal listening.

Perfect For
Whether you’re watching videos with inconsistent volume, avoiding loud ads, browsing late at night, or just want a more comfortable audio experience, this extension keeps sound levels safe and consistent.

Technical Details
Built using the Web Audio API’s DynamicsCompressorNode, the limiter delivers high-quality results with zero performance impact when disabled. Settings sync across your devices, and the project is fully open source.

Privacy
No data is collected. No analytics. The extension works entirely within your browser without external connections.
