by Firefox user 18357169, 2 years agoHi Chaython, thanks for making an open source and slim volume control add-on. it is needed. i agree, the other one on Firefox is junk! i detest apps and etc. that harm us under the guise of offering something useful.
But i can't get it to work. On one site (movies7.to), it was useless. On another (archive.org), it muted the volume and i couldnt seem to re-tune it. i figure on another, it will also be a bother to rather than imrpovement of my experience...
I see that this is manifeset (aka "version?") 3. And that it is not necessary to give the permission for access to all websites' information?
what about the info on the single website upon which we apply the volume control add-on. could you provide a statement about what website info this extension searches for / analyzes, and how it uses this information? is it linked to our identities? could it be used for nefarious purposes if in the wrong hands? etc.
thanks again. i would ilke to use it.

posted 2 years agoAs for site compatibility, there's issues where CDN (content delivery network) has strict CSP.
CSP denies any extension from accessing the hosted resource.
The extra permission is necessary to see iframes (content loaded from a different site in a frame within the current site).
You can view the code, it doesn't see any information it just accesses the html audio/video and doesn't have any outgoing code, it just accesses the tab checks for audio then uses a js to check iframes for audio.
I've been trying to figure a way for firefox to not load the extension on certain sites but its not working it has only worked within chromium.... So site compatibility has been getting worse.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Nikitamce, 4 days 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
- Rated 2 out of 5by spschol, 14 days 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, a month agoMutes audio on some sites I wanted to use it on. Works perfectly on sites where I don't need it. Great.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Mel, a month agoWarning, this prevents my Amazon Prime videos from playing at all. Maybe caused by some lack of DRM code.

- Rated 2 out of 5by SamsonIzBored07, a month 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, a month agoIn some websites I don't have any audio - where I used to - until I disable this extension.

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