User reviews

Users praise the extension for providing a simple, lightweight, and effective way to control YouTube volume with mouse scroll, especially after YouTube removed native volume slider. It works well on both standard and YouTube Music sites. However, some users report that recent updates caused malfunction or unreliability. The options interface can be confusing or difficult to use, and the extension lacks features like volume boosting or extensive customization. Despite some issues, it remains the preferred choice over heavier alternatives due to its simplicity and functionality.

Pros

Simple and effective volume control via mouse scroll on YouTube videos.
Works well on both standard YouTube site and YouTube Music.
Highly appreciated for restoring convenient volume adjustment features removed by YouTube.
Lightweight and does not consume much processing power compared to alternatives.
Customizable options like volume step, text size, and color enhance user experience.

Cons

Extension has stopped working or becomes unreliable in recent versions for many users.
Options menu can be confusing or hard to navigate due to unclear language or design.
Some users report slow volume scrolling or insufficient response speed.
Lack of volume boost feature (increasing volume beyond 100%) is a missing enhancement.
Customization of the position and style of volume overlay could be improved.

Отличное расширение. Пожелание: - нужно убрать % рядом с цифрами. - сделать возможность выбора размещения на плеере, мне удобнее например слева.
