Review Summary
StereoToMono is highly praised for effectively balancing audio output by converting stereo sound to mono, especially for YouTube videos where audio is only on one side. It's simple to use and greatly appreciated for improving audio clarity in lectures and meetings. However, users report that the extension requires refreshing pages or restarting Chrome to activate correctly, and it may not work on all platforms like Dailymotion. Occasionally, it fails to function as expected, and some find it hard to locate in the Chrome Web Store. Overall, it's considered an excellent tool with minor usability issues.
