Extension summary

An open-source plugin to control any tab's volume separately.

Do note that once you started modifying volume:

  • You cannot toggle fullscreen of this tab. This is due to the Chrome API limitation.
  • Your system may not go into sleep/suspend/monitor off because Chrome will mark the current tab is "capturing" and inhibit doing so.
