this userscript is a heavily customized fork of Vivelin's original userscript and integrates a limiter written by Wareya that i've ported to JavaScript.
usage
click on the gear symbol near the bottom right of YouTube's video player to access these features:
Level Boost
this adds +10 decibels of gain to the audio, as well as a brickwall limiter to reduce unwanted distortion (clipping).
this works in conjunction with YouTube's volume slider, so if +10 dB is a little too much, simply turn the volume down.
Compressor
in terms of volume, this squeezes the quiet and loud parts closer together to allow for a more uniform listening experience.
this compressor has been tuned to be less responsive to bass and treble frequencies, which helps to reduce "pumping" artifacts. note that the level boost feeds into the compressor, so the amount of compression somewhat increases with both features enabled.
