User reviews

Users appreciate the extension for its effective tab volume management, minimalistic design, and free features like equalizer and dark mode. However, common complaints include forced use of Bing search engine, occasional audio bugs requiring browser restart, issues with volume settings not being saved, non-functionality in recent updates, and difficulty accessing advanced settings. Overall, while useful for audio control, the forced search engine change and stability problems reduce user satisfaction.

Minimalistic and easy-to-use interface.

Cons

Forces Bing as the default search engine and new tab page, which many users dislike.
Occasional bugs such as audio muting itself requiring browser restart.
Volume settings or configurations sometimes do not save properly.
Recent versions have functionality issues and some users report the extension not working.
Issues accessing equalizer settings even for paid users.
