The Volume Booster for YouTube™ Chrome extension empowers users to increase the audio volume of the YouTube player up to twice its normal level, mimicking the boosting effect available in VLC player. A convenient "2x" button appears next to the YouTube settings, allowing effortless toggling of enhanced volume for a powerful and clearer sound experience.

This extension supports keyboard shortcuts for volume boosting, making it easy to control audio levels without leaving the keyboard. While it works seamlessly with YouTube's native player, compatibility with audio equalizer extensions depends on how those equalizers apply their filters. This tool is perfect for users seeking louder, richer sound while enjoying YouTube videos without sacrificing audio clarity.

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.

Volume Booster for YouTube™ requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
