IIRC, enhanced-h264ify used to have successful prevention of normalization, but it stopped working at some point.

cf. https://github.com/alextrv/enhanced-h264ify/blob/e5f2ea22378e85fc55b9e6ccab27644b1bc66ba5/src/inject/inject.js#L79-L104
(and alextrv/enhanced-h264ify#1 (comment))

Whoops, I think I'll have to eat my words. It seems like enhanced-h264ify actually still does work after disabling and re-enabling the checkbox as suggested in alextrv/enhanced-h264ify#7. Crazy.

FWIW, when lowering volume in the mixer, pausing and re-starting, then it stays. But when moving to a new video, it jumps back to 100%.
