The radio player extension is pretty basic and does not offer many features except a volume control. It does not offer any equalizer. If you like a radio station, then you can add it to your favorites list. Among the extension options,  you can add radio stations to the list by adding their URL, you can import radio stations list, or even export it to a text file.

While “Online Radio” extension is very simple and easy to use, it also has some drawbacks. For example, most of the radio stations available in this extension are Russian which could be a problem if you do not understand the Russian language. But if you are a students studying Russian language , then this is going to be a great asset for you. Even though we can add our own radio stations, nobody is going to try it as there are many more similar extensions available that feature hundreds of English radio stations.
