Super. Certainly the best audio addon for Opera.
My only gripe is that it break audio on some sites and it's forcefully disabled by others... -

@bloort: That's a general description composed by someone's Marketing department. The add-on's creator should recognize the general description is kinda freaky and therefore provide an additional description that's more specific to this add-on. Perhaps something like "The add-on needs permission to poke into your tabs. However, during that process, no information is sent over the internet to to the add-on's creator or anyone."

Just installed the equalizer. Thanks mucho. There was an instruction to close and reopen the tab that I want the equalizer to be active on. I did that, but the EQ was still inactive, and I got scared. I had to restart Opera, and then the EQ was active. Full disclosure: Windows 7. Perhaps the instruction needs to be updated. Having an equalizer is so fantastic, restarting the browser was no problem.
When I wave the mouse over an EQ slider, the mouse cursor changes to a big sloppy hand. A smaller, more precise mouse cursor would be more appropriate for the small slider controls. Maybe the extension could provide its own mouse cursor, perhaps a nice pointy arrow.
After playing with the EQ for a few seconds, I wanted to return the settings to Flat, but it wasn't a choice anywhere, and I got scared. It took me a while to find out that it's called Default. So, no problem.
I thought it would be helpful if there were a numerical readout for each slider, in dB's. It wouldn't have to be accurate, just something to make the sliders a little more quantifiable. Then I realized there are tick-marks every 5 dB's. That works 100% for me, don't need numerical readout anymore, so no problem.
In summary, I give the audio equalizer 5-stars-out-of-5.
Now I need better speakers, newer ears, and more World citizens demanding more progressive rock. And remember that just because your ears don't hurt doesn't mean the music's not too loud.

Seems like Opera with help of autor of this extension lunu-bouncir does better work then Mac OS devs, who can't get the equalizer to work reasonably.Good work, thank you!

if it stops working just refresh page after re-enabling it. Anyway, the extension started lagging my opera recently including apps outside the browser

Add a Compressor/Limiter
Amen. There are environments where 100 dB dynamic range is undesirable. E.g., in the car where you can't hear the soft passages; or at night where loud passages may wake up the baby...
Also, apparently, when your hearing isn't so good anymore -- for instance, post Led Zeppelin -- reduced dynamic range can be helpful, since the Pain Threshold becomes an issue.
On a tangent, a lesson I'd like to pass on to y'all: Just because your ears don't hurt doesn't mean the volume isn't up too loud.

This extension does this thing where every few seconds there is a skip or sound cut throwing off the music, how can this be fixed?

Just the great app that's what is it! It only needs only one another one future to became just perfect, it is an automatic volume level control. It would be so nice being added, please!

Agreed. 130 dB dynamic range is wonderful, but it's not appropriate in noisy environments like the car. Or in case of hearing problems, when it might help for the volume level to be more steady.Audio volume level compression would raise all the soft sounds so they're almost as loud as the loud sounds. Good for Clasical music in the car. Pop music is already compressed out of the factory, to make it easy to listen to anywhere.
McIntosh had equipment in the 70s that included audio level compression, and it cost thousands of dollars. And they broke the audio spectrum into 3 bands, so as the bass, mids, and tebles got louder and softer, they would all be held steady, independently. If the volume of the entire frequency range is compressed as a single band, a bass beat might cause the mids and trebles to pump.
Should be easy to add a little DSP, multi band, digital signal processing in the Equalizer app to do the same thing, easily. Make those octacores work for a living.
