Great equalizer extention with a few extra features, it is really bass heavy on some presets though, like the rock preset, it's super base heavy! I wanna hear guitar and stuff not just booming drums and bass, so I made my own preset lol. This is just personal preference though. Being able to save your own presets would be nice, I mean, you can save one but saving multiple would be nice.

kinda works. it disallows certain YouTube videos from going full screen outside of the browser, for anyone else having that problem. would give it 3 stars if that wasn't a bug.
