    This is the best volume add on I've used, many of the others are offshoots of the most popular one, which barely changes the volume of tabs and is rather useless. One thing to note that if it is not working on certain websites ensure you go into your settings and allow it to run on websites with restrictions or it will seem as if a website is on the blacklist even if it is not.

    Creates a delay between audio channels (L/R) on Webex

    Thanks for the spectacular extension and link to source code; it is highly appreciated since most other "volume control" extensions on Firefox are sketchy or outdated. Works very well.

    No longer works on Meta-owned sites, which are the entire reason I installed it (given Facebook videos have no volume sliders). Trying to use it on Facebook or Instagram since the latest update now causes a "This site is in the exclusions list" despite having not changed any settings on my end. I'm sure this is due to a change with Meta, but it defeats the purpose of this extension for me.

    Unless it's in the exclusion list, it shouldn't display this message. Please paste your log in the github issues..... you can also temporarily downgrade to an older edition from the github releases page or the versions page on mozilla https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/volume-control-boost-volume/versions/
    Hope I can help you resolve your problem and you can revise your review to 5 stars. I jut do this as a hobby.

    Works good but on some web sites breaks audio completely (e.g. Steam) and it's not possible to know that audio is broken unless you know it should be playing on the website. Too much hustle...

    Its because steam blocks it in their CSP, sadly lots of CDNs do.
    I could individually add each one to the FQDNS list, but like you said that's a lot of hassle and it has to be reaproved by mozzila everytime etc.
    The way audio source is pulled is on page load. If it's doing it too late lots of sites won't interact with the plugin. Where as its an issue on sites with strict CSP as then it just blocks audio.
    So sadly there's nothing I can do about it, without further reducing compatible sites.
    Could maybe make a whitelist mode instead of a blacklist mode in the future.

    I hope you revise your review as it "works good"

    Pleasantly surprised after last experience with volume booster. This application rocks!
  • by Subvert, 3 months ago
    Wouldve been a 5 star cause it does do the increase volume thing well, but for some reason it causes multiple elements on the website d2l (which i use for my college courses) to break. No clue why or how it does this, but because of this I'm forced to uninstall the extention

    It's most likely because it interacts on page load and your site has a strict CSP. If you add it to the FQDNS list the page may then work.

    works just fine on for me relevant websites

    BUT

    blocks amazon prime and disney plus videoplayer. so in order to stream any movie on these sites i have to deactivate the extension.

    Far better than other sound addons. Does the job, doesn't broke the pages and no ads/clickbait.
  • by mb9023, 5 months ago
    Works sometimes but often I load up a page and the video has no sound at all, especially on twitter, until I disable and re-enable the extension. Would be nice if it remembered settings too.

    The only one volume extension that actually could make the sound overly loud for good. But for some reason it just doesn't remember the volume setting.

    Do make setting per page basis for this extension.

    Sadly, I was having a lot of issues implementing the ability to save the volume per page, and most videos on a page are diferent volume anyways so this is not a planned feature.

    TERRIBLE! MAKES EVERYTHING ELSE SUPER LOUD!! I LOWERED ONE TAB AND IT MAKES EVERYTHING ELSE LOUDER. MY EARS ARE BLEEDING

    That shouldn't be possible its initialized per tab.
  • by Eryo, 7 months ago
    Simple et efficace. Garde en mémoire le réglage effectuer pour les shorts suivant contrairement a d'autre extension qui reset le volume après un Skip. Je préfère.

    It works but some sites have CSP rules that block it from initializing/breaks audio. Add those sites to the blocklist in the settings.

    Nope. You don't want to use this app. Worked once and then muted all my tabs. Delete!
