About Loudness DD
LUFS-based tab volume balancer for Chrome
Changelog
v1.1.2
- Improved implementation to require fewer permissions
- Improve icon display
---
v1.1.1
- Improved output limiter to the mixer stage instead of per-channel
- Configurable auto-focus gain
---
v1.1.0
## New features
- **Focus and auto-focus:** Keep one monitored tab prominent while lowering the others by 12 dB. Auto-focus follows the active monitored tab.
- **Automatic balancing on capture:** Registering a tab now starts loudness balancing automatically.
- **Browser tab ordering:** Monitored tabs follow their order within browser windows and update when tabs move.
## Fixes
- Correct LUFS sample-rate handling and K-weighting coefficients, with consistent mono and multichannel processing.
- Correct the organization link in the popup footer.
## Performance and interface improvements
- Move the real-time LUFS analysis kernel to Rust and WebAssembly, optimize loudness gating in the power domain, and reduce copying across the audio bridge.
- Share the offscreen audio engine across captures and batch incremental meter updates to reduce repeated work and messaging.
- Throttle real-time control updates and smooth automatic gain changes.
- Refactor the popup into reusable controls with UnoCSS and trim the production bundle.
---
v1.0.5
- Added collapsible tab cards with smoother transitions for more compact multi-tab sessions.
- Language selection now persists between popup sessions.
- Reworked audio-session coordination: the offscreen document now owns live capture and auto-balancing state, while the background service worker focuses on permissions and lifecycle events.
- Replaced popup polling with an initial snapshot followed by live updates.
- Applied continuous auto-balancing directly alongside LUFS updates.
- Made capture startup and cleanup deterministic across tab closure, navigation, stream termination, and concurrent stop events.
- Preserved each tab’s configured gain when entering or leaving solo mode.
- Serialized settings updates to prevent rapid changes from overwriting newer values.
- Reduced redundant gain operations and optimized LUFS calculations.
- Simplified auto-balance controls by removing the one-shot balance action.
- Fixed audio capture and processing resources remaining alive after tabs stopped or navigated.
- Fixed solo mode overwriting saved gain or leaving tabs at unintended levels.
- Fixed races between popup updates, settings persistence, and simultaneous cleanup events.
- Improved handling of invalid persisted settings and non-finite loudness values.
