Volume Control [Boost volume] by Chaython

by Ben, 3 years agoProbably the best option so far in software volume boosters, at least if you're mostly using Youtube. Though, this plugin (like all others of the same genre) fail to keep the volume setting for a site. So for instance if you watch a YT video and set it to +8dB, then watch a second YT video, you'll be back to +0dB and will have to manually set it back to +8dB or whatever. This is very annoying as unfortunately I have got one of those 800$ Acer P.O.S. laptops that have the speakers mounted ON THE BOTTOM so any sound is effectively half as loud as it normally would be on any normal laptop. I don't know what they smoked while designing this laptop, but thanks to your plugin, I can AT LEAST understand what the Youtuber says when volume is at 100% in Windows. If you could make it so that it retains the +dB setting for a given domain name or at the very least, have users edit the default +dB value to something else than +0dB it would be 5 stars out of 5!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Ajinkya, 4 days agoworks. best feature it remembers last settings for audio boost per website.
- Rated 5 out of 5by burak, 6 days agoThanks to its ability to have both mono/stereo control and volume boost, my two plug-in needs were reduced to one. Also it works perfect.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19939033, 8 days agoTwitch audio breaks while the extension is active. Also doesn't work on most websites.
- Rated 5 out of 5by EvillNooB, 8 days agoworks on websites where the videos can change (like course lessons on udemy, where you stay on the same page, but the next video loads in)
another plugin worked only on the first video, but this one keeps working 👍👍 - Rated 5 out of 5by TheDangerousDucky, 9 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Nikitamce, a month agoI learned about this extension from an Asmongold video—he uses it to adjust the volume of online videos and enable mono audio output. That's why I recommend giving this extension

posted 16 days agoThe mute should be fixed its a CSP issue; [x blocked the script and so when it tried to access it audio breaks, but thats why there's a blacklist.] - Rated 2 out of 5by spschol, a month agoOn sites where it works the extension is very helpful. However there are several sites where I have had to disable this extension to play video at all, including Hulu and Peacock.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19820541, 2 months agoMutes audio on some sites I wanted to use it on. Works perfectly on sites where I don't need it. Great.

Maybe caused by some lack of DRM code.

- Rated 2 out of 5by SamsonIzBored07, 2 months agoGood, but it's just a compressor... I need something that boosts the volume with any compression being applied.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 17590626, 2 months agoIn some websites I don't have any audio - where I used to - until I disable this extension.

- Rated 1 out of 5by fcff, 2 months agoHorrible. Half the sites I go to brick the player until I turn off the volume booster. So dumb
