Reviews (200 cached)
For some reason at midnight, it opens a new tab by itself, and then it redirected to a spam/ad page. Was wondering why I wake up to a new gambling page in my browser. https://addonup.com/extensions/equalizer-for-chrome-browser/updated
works fine but opens its own tab daily to report me it is has been updated. pushed me to stop using it just because of that.
is taking over my task bar
it opens a new tab every time I open the browser and half of the times is virus One of them was horrible It try to replicate de No robot captcha of cloud flare And it say that I had to paste a text in win + r menu but when i paste it text It was mshta http://(An malisious ip than i dont want to share for security)/firep.img It is so dangerous
Every time I open a new tab on YT, I must turn on again this equalizer. Again and again.
Version 3.0.3 Updated December 15, 2022 It was after this update that the reverb effects completely stopped working. Now, after all this time, I've installed it again, and nothing has changed. This used to be my favorite product.
keeps going off with no reason ππππππππ
constantly opens ads in a new browser tab
i would really like to know how to access the extension
I was clutching in Fortnite and out of nowhere a tab opened UPDATE SUCCESSFUL like bro you ruined my game I died because of you why would you randomly open a tab I don't care that it updated I'm really considering deleting this extension now.
Awful. Tried using it with Spotify and it overdrives the audio to the point where great music sounds like absolute garbage. Perhaps it can't handle lossless audio? Either way, it made the audio sound atrocious.
kept spawning this dumb window asking me to write a review. it works well tho
ANYONE that gave this more than 2 stars wouldn't know quality audio if their lives depended on it, their range numbers are WAY off.
THis is a scm and not what it says
has fake virus stuff
Tonally defunct , EQ bands are off and tinny . whoever programmed this must have had their ears removed and needs 50 lashes from a guitar cable.
Doesn't work.
it doesnt even make a difference so what ism the point of this extension very useless
cant even persist my equilizer settings, useless
worst EQ
Why don't the tabs go away. I reviewed it already. what do you want. Why won't the tabs get off my screen?
why i need to have one more tab open which is ads and promotional to keep it working
gives Addonup popups, not rerouting my adblock to close it
downloads opera browser without permission
UNWANTED ADS
Hijacks your browser, opens new tabs with ads that take over your whole monitor when you try to click the X to close them. This is malware. Do not install!
installs a browser hijack don't install
Opens automaticaly offers and advertising tabs. NOT safe. Removed extension and reported to Google.
It's violating Google Chrome Extension Developer Policy. It's malicious. It's forcing open tabs for other offers such as installing the Opera browser (even pushed an EXE download dialog to open on my browser) or other things. Google shouldn't be allowing such extensions on their platform.

Great product except for one thing. It's violating Google Chrome Extension Developer Policy. It's malicious. It's forcing open tabs for other offers such as installing the Opera browser (even pushed an EXE download dialog to open on my browser) or other things. The Google Chrome Extension Developer Policy specifically says that it supports in-app offers, but only if they do not obstruct the use of the plugin. You can't be forcing tabs open to other offers or requiring someone to look at your offer before using some functionality of your extension. But if you want to put an ad on your plugin's control panel in a corner, while still allowing the control panel to be used, and not forcing someone to read and decide on an ad before they an continue, then that's acceptable. So, I have reported this plugin to Google Chrome Extension team.
Installs an intrusive popup tab to addonup.com. Was using for a couple years with no issue. Now you get spammed with shovelware. No thanks.
How does this have 4.6/5 stars?..you have to remember to enable it every single time you open a new tab
Randomly opens a the website "addonup.com" without asking anything beforehand This app is not trustworthy
This is malware. Pops up addonup.com webpage and does more weird things at the worst possible moment. Too bad, the extension works, but its not worth it when you know it will be stealing your data too.
As stated below, this is malware. It will periodically open a tab for "addonup.com" out of nowhere. The plugin itself works, but there are plenty of non-malware alternatives. Do not install.
malware. opens a tab for "addonup.com" without permission.
malware
ADDONUP malware comes with the program. DO NOT INSTALL!
A spyware and auto open addonup.com every now and then.
Does not work
Opens advertising tabs even when I'm not using the app
Flagging this because it opens a spam page everyday called "addonup.com." Not cool.
Used this for months until it started to open SPAM "addonup" pop-ups. Instant removal. Byeeeeeeeeeeee
it won't work unless you leave a spam page open
Opens up spam pages
Opens up spam pages
not that good
Overall, it does work. However, I am getting tiny little audio glitches, blips, dropouts, etc. once every few minutes. I guess it is minor enough to where most users don't even notice (or not happening to them?). But for me, this is ultimately a deal breaker, as I cannot tolerate any artifacts being introduced into the audio stream. A better solution for me was to download and install fxsound equalizer for Windows. It is a more comprehensive solution than just a browser extension. It works better, and I have not had any issues with fxsound equalizer introducing any audio artifacts or other glitches or interruptions to the music.
Norton Browser Protection says this extension is infected with cursor-helper.com with the threat name URL:Malvertising. Wish the extension owner would clean up their act.
