Or, like how I use it, normalizing different sites that have different baseline volumes, so I don't have to keep changing my system volume.

I take it you don't watch content on your tv or your phone or tablet.

Most things these days, good or bad, are not designed for power users.

Ironically many here I'm sure are running MacOS.

Maybe you and TeMPOraL do.

Not to mention, maybe a long-running process will use some audio cue as a notification while you're listening.

(Actually, given the rest of the comment, I'm pretty sure TeMPOraL was being sarcastic.)

Audio ducking is a big thing these days and becoming more and more prevalent. All phones do it.
