Provides the ability to block videos based on a filter.
To block a video, the filter's video blocking feature needs to be enabled in the filter rules.

Audio effects
-
Equalizer.
The equalizer is available on the YouTube video page under the "Equalizer" button next to the channel name.
The equalizer is useful if you want to improve audio data or compensate for sound output device limitations. It is also used for music.
Available filters:- HP (high-pass filter).
- HS (high shelf filter).
- LP (low-pass filter).
- LS (low shelf filter).
- Peak filter.
- Notch filter.
- BP (band-pass filter).
- BP (band-stop filter).

-
Normalizes volume.
Volume normalization is available in the short video section under the "Normalize" button, as well as when using the equalizer in the "Equalizer" dialog.
This is useful when there is a loud or quiet speaker in a video. Volume normalization eliminates the need to manually adjust the volume for different videos, as this extension automatically adjusts the volume. Normalization is particularly useful in the short video section, where there are many videos with varying volume levels. In some cases, new sounds can be heard that were not audible before normalization.
To use sound effects on any websites and local files, use the Page context extension.
