Better Volume Booster is a free and open-source Chrome extension designed to enhance your web audio experience. Unlike many volume boosters that reset your settings or mute certain pages, this extension remembers the volume level you set for each page, ensuring a consistent listening experience.

While it can boost volume on nearly any webpage, it cannot raise the volume of DRM-protected content like Netflix or Spotify due to technical limitations. The extension is easy to use and transparent, with its full source code and usage instructions available on GitHub. Support the developer via Buy Me a Coffee if you find it helpful.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Better Volume Booster requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
