    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.

    it's awesome on the sites it works on. Unfortunately not Amazon Music.

    It works well, one minor, one major flaw, would be a 5 star otherwise...

    Minor flaw : could boost volume by more than 32db (I'm hard of hearing).

    Major flaw : Does NOT keep setting. Keep setting it at +32, as soon as I navigate to another page, or even refresh the page, it forgets the setting and goes back to 0.

    Please allow it to be kept at the user setting.

    Hey! It in fact does work on this site.
    Please look at the notice on the extension page.
    You have to go to the add-ons manager about:addons in the URL bar, and manage volume control. Give it permission to "Access your data for all websites".

    This site plays audio from an external page, so in order to access the iframe element the mutation observer in arrive.min.js needs api permission to view all site data.

    Sorry for the delayed response, hope this works for you.

    Hello, thanks for your input, I was resistant on submitting further updates as most features/compatibility is only fixed by requiring further permissions.
    However I have submitted the update now, I hope it resolves your issue with twitch.
    LMK, if it does I would love your five star! <3

    Probably 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!

    I would love to include persistent memory but to add such a cache would request file access permission which spooks more users away from the extension.

    This 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.

    Every 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.

    Super 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.

    I'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
