urlEQ: The Web Audio Equalizer

More volume, more brightness. The one-click equalizer to instantly enhance music streams, movie dialogue, and any web audio!

Your ears have been tricked into thinking this is normal. But the problem is bigger than that... For decades, you've been conditioned to accept lifeless audio. Streaming services crush modern songs with compression, while normalization robs them of power. It's a conspiracy of variables: muffled live recordings, thin vintage mixes, quiet podcasts, inconsistent movies, and even the unique flaws of your own headphones. Each has conspired to steal the web's sonic brilliance. There is no 'correct' sound. The search for it is a dead end. Every mix is a compromise. Vintage masters were never meant for your headphones. The stream actively guts the signal: normalization crushes its volume, and codecs shave off the crisp high-end. The accepted 'solution' is to buy a more expensive speaker—a passive filter for a system that demands active control. It's a fundamental error in logic. urlEQ is the logical correction. The simple, overdue tool that gives you active control over the signal itself. The power to fix the old mix, to counteract the stream, and to compensate for your gear. It's not about finding the 'correct' sound. It's about having the control to define it. KEY FEATURES: ✨ Per-URL Presets & Playlists This is the real magic.

Bring back vital clarity and power to any source. Our Soft-Q engine ensures every adjustment is powerful, yet always musical.

You won't just hear the sub-bass—you'll see every note. 🎛️ True Multi-Instance: Be the DJ urlEQ operates independently in each tab. Drastically cut the low-end from a song in one tab to focus on the mix, while a live concert plays with the perfect vocal boost in another. You are in total control. 🛡️ Absolute Privacy & Performance The urlEQ extension was built for privacy. We have a strict zero-data collection policy. All your presets are stored locally in your browser, never on our servers. The extension itself (under 300kb) has zero impact on performance. Release Notes: * September, 2025 * urlEQ v1.1.0 - The Golden Master Update This isn't just an update; it's a milestone. For version 1.1.0, we've focused on two critical areas: a comprehensive user experience revamp and a fundamental fix to our audio engine, resulting in the most stable, intuitive, and robust version of urlEQ to date. [IMPROVED] Total UI/UX Revamp: We went back to the drawing board and refined nearly every visual element and interaction. The interface is now cleaner, more professional, and more intuitive. From redesigned controls to enhanced visual clarity in the analyzer, the entire experience has been polished to perfection. [FIXED] Critical Audio Engine Overhaul for Unprecedented Robustness: We have completely resolved a long-standing and complex "race condition" issue. The Problem: Previously, switching between tabs or leaving a page with active audio idle could cause a conflict, making the EQ engine unresponsive even though the interface appeared functional. The Solution: We have re-architected how audio instances are managed. The engine now pro-actively restores the correct EQ state the instant audio is resumed in a tab. This completely eliminates the conflict, ensuring what you see is always what you hear. urlEQ is now significantly more resilient and reliable, no matter how many tabs you juggle. --- urlEQ v1.0.6 - UX Refinement Update [IMPROVED] Filter Selection Menu: The pop-up menu for selecting filter types (Low-Shelf, Peak, High-Shelf, etc.) has been redesigned. Choosing and confirming your filter type is now a significantly smoother and more immediate process. [IMPROVED] EQ Point Interaction: The UI and interaction logic for the EQ points have been refined, resulting in a more stable and predictable experience when creating and adjusting filters.
