Reviews for 600% Sound Volume
600% Sound Volume by Aliaksandr

by gaveitatry, 2 years agoTL;DR - Don't use this addon. Use Equalizer Plus instead.
It increases the volume of videos, but there are three flaws with this addon.
The first flaw is that the interface of the addon popup doesn't look very good.
The second flaw is that I think the video has to be playing for the sound adjustments to take effect. I don't think that the sound adjustments work if the video is momentarily paused. But other sound booster extensions don't have this problem and will let you adjust the volume even if the video is paused.
The third flaw is the most serious. If you adjust the sound using this extension, the fullscreen button in the video (F11 still works) will quit working. 99% of all sound booster addons have this same exact problem. But I found an extension that lets you do both - increase the sound volume AND use the fullscreen button. It's called Equalizer Plus. Someone also suggested another addon that also lets you increase the sound volume AND use the fullscreen button, but I didn't try it and the interface looks bad so I don't want to try it. But there you go. There are at least one or two addons out there that let you use the video's fullscreen button (which I prefer over using the F11 hotkey) after you've made sound adjustments. I highly recommend Equalizer Plus. The interface looks better too.
Actually, there is a fourth flaw. There have been reports that this addon has ads/tracking and malicious code. One guy on GitHub actually took this extension, removed the ads/tracking and made a new version of the addon with the same name, which you can find on GitHub. But I recommend not using either version and using Equalizer Plus instead.

- Rated 5 out of 5by SuperSerb, 12 days agoThis extension helps tremendously when I'm at work and have something playing the background because I can turn it up as much as I need in order to drown out the yapping that goes on around the office :-)

- Rated 1 out of 5by Whitelabelify, 14 days agowhile providing legitimate audio boosting functionality, contains significant malware components designed for data exfiltration, user tracking, and potential ad injection. It utilizes hidden iframes and unauthorized 3rd party communication to send sensitive browsing data to remote servers.

- Rated 1 out of 5by cm, 25 days agoSketchy. It asks to add banner ads to help support the extension. The UI has ads for other extensions by the author, and after I had it installed a while I got a weird redirect on a site that I have never had problems with previously. So as soon as that happened I deleted the extension. I don't trust this at all and I would not download it.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Dork, a month agoVery suspicious. After a few days of installing it, I got a google warning of suspicious activity on my account. Doesn't even work properly on a lot of websites -_-
