Vurdering: 3 av 5
av Firefox user 18357169, eit år sidanHi 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.

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.

- Vurdering: 4 av 5av Firefox user 18952227, 3 månader sidanThis 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.

- Vurdering: 5 av 5av arboch, 4 månader sidanThanks 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link to source code; it is highly appreciated since most other "volume control" extensions on Firefox are sketchy or outdated.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.

- Vurdering: 1 av 5av Sev, 4 månader sidanNo 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.

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. - Vurdering: 1 av 5av kibababa, 4 månader sidanWorks 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...

posta 4 månader sidanIts 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" - Vurdering: 5 av 5av 0WfCh, 4 månader sidan

- Vurdering: 4 av 5av Subvert, 6 månader sidanWouldve 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

posta 4 månader sidanIt'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. - Vurdering: 3 av 5av Firefox user 18768669, 6 månader sidanworks 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. - Vurdering: 5 av 5av Roundup, 7 månader sidanFar better than other sound addons. Does the job, doesn't broke the pages and no ads/clickbait.
- Vurdering: 3 av 5av mb9023, 7 månader sidanWorks 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.

- Vurdering: 2 av 5av Peter, 8 månader sidanThe 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.Svar frå utviklaren
posta 4 månader sidanSadly, 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.
