- Rated 5 out of 5by tsuyuki, 2 years agoWorks great, individual tabs can have their own audio level, and the only extension with unintrusive permissions. +1

- Rated 4 out of 5by Skribbly, 2 years agoThis works very well and all, but there is a very important feature that I have noticed is missing, the ability to save preset volumes for specific websites.

posted a year agoEvery video has different volume on most sites, but I will consider adding a toggle to do that in the future. An issue with that feature is it may require extra permissions, this is a zero permission extension, so no vulnerabilities. - Rated 1 out of 5by BAUST, 2 years ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by KirkH420, 2 years agoActually all this thing did was cause the sound to cut-out to nothing when I clicked the add-on's button on the firefox toolbar. I had a video with sound but when I click the button I had no sound. Using the db slider seemed to have no affect. Didn't work for my situation but maybe it works for other people in their situation.

posted a year agoDo you recall what site you were on? Yes it specifies it only works with HTML audio, this is to require less permissions. - Rated 5 out of 5by clone45, 2 years agoThis worked perfectly for me. I'm taking a Udemy course where the volume was too low on some videos, and this allowed my to adjust my browser volume while keeping all other system sounds at the same level.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 10700314, 2 years agoNot only did it not boost the volume, it completely removed it. No matter where I slid it, up or down, it completely obliterated my laptop volume so I could hear nothing.

If it stopped being upkept and somehow broke (I don't know how, it's one of the simplest pieces of code I've seen for this browser) it would be a travesty. More people should use this. It's the only safe volume booster on Firefox - the others are, if not actually keyloggers, very close to being keyloggers, adware or worse.
If you value not only your safety, but your privacy and ability to hear pages that should, by all rights, have much higher top-dB, this extension is for you.
Chaython, please never drop this project because it's fantastic. Thank you. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17571674, 2 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Joshy, 2 years agoSuper love the fact that it's open-source. I suggest adding a key bind to open the popup so that the users don't have to scroll to the upper right to adjust the volume.

posted a year agoI'd love to but from what I understand that would require a background.js, which I didn't want to implement... As it requires additional permissions... see: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/manifest.json/permissions#activetab_permission - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17541322, 2 years agoThank you so much for this extension. Knowing It's open source makes me relief.

- Rated 3 out of 5by SoulessKoala, 2 years agoWorked perfectly for the first few weeks. I like that it reset the volume level between tabs so when I open a new tab it's not blasting my ears... But today it stopped working. Every time I open the volume bar again it is reset back to 0 and the volume doesn't change at all with the bar. I was loving it so I hope this can be fixed. Will change review if fixed. I am using Windows 11 with latest Firefox. Updated everything and not fixed.

posted 2 years agoAs stated in the description, it only works on HTML5 video, which site did you try to change the volume on?
