User reviews

Users find Volume Mixer highly effective for centralized tab volume control without needing to switch tabs and praise its simple interface and playback controls. However, common issues include inability to control tabs across multiple Chrome windows, volume resetting on content changes within the same tab, and faulty behavior when muting tabs by setting volume to zero. Additionally, certain audio sources like Google Meet and Spotify are not detected, and there are compatibility issues reported with Opera GX. Overall, despite some bugs, users appreciate the extension's unique and essential functionality.

Pros

Allows controlling volume of multiple tabs from a centralized place.
Enables volume adjustment without switching to the tab itself.
Supports play/resume control of playback.
User-friendly and appreciated interface.
Fixes in new versions have improved stability and functionality.

Cons

Does not pick up tabs from multiple Chrome windows; only works on one window at a time.
Volume reset to 100% when switching content within the same tab, indicating volume control is per content rather than per tab.
Extension removes tabs from the popup once their volume is set to zero, causing inability to increase volume again without page reload.
Does not recognize audio from certain sources like Google Meet or Spotify.
Some users report the extension does not work properly in Opera GX browser.

This extension is really great for controlling tab volumes, but there's one thing: when I have multiple Chrome windows open, it only picks up tabs from one of them. It would be nice to have a way to see and switch between tabs from both windows. Still, it’s awesome overall! Edit (again): this new version works really well, good job

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 Mixer requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
