Volume Manager is a versatile Chrome extension that allows users to control the volume of each browser tab independently. It supports two modes:

H5 Mode: Automatically remembers previous volume settings but supports only HTML5 standard audio and video.
Browser Native Mode: Compatible with Flash and other multimedia formats. However, due to Chrome's limitations, automatic configuration requires manual activation via the extension page.

This extension enhances your browsing experience by providing precise audio control tailored to each tab's content.

User reviews

Volume Manager is praised for its unique ability to remember and control website-specific volume levels and for working effectively on popular streaming platforms like Netflix and YouTube even in fullscreen mode. Users appreciate its lightweight, powerful, and user-friendly interface with multilingual support. However, some users experience inconsistency with volume adjustment, especially in fullscreen mode or certain modes where volume boosting is ineffective. There's a demand for a dark mode and additional convenience features to enhance usability further.

Pros

Remembers and manages individual website volume levels effectively, a feature rare among similar extensions.
Works well on popular sites like Netflix and YouTube, including in fullscreen mode for these platforms.
Lightweight and powerful with flexible volume control without interfering with browser shortcuts.
User-friendly interface with features like mouse wheel control and multilingual support, including Chinese.
Helpful for adjusting volume beyond browser defaults and includes useful features like volume preservation and muting.

Cons

Volume adjustment doesn't work consistently; some users report it only mutes tabs without adjusting volume.
Limited effectiveness of volume boost feature in certain modes (e.g., H5 mode) with minimal noticeable volume increase.
Does not function properly or fully in fullscreen mode on some websites, notably YouTube for some users.
Lacks a dark mode for the popup interface, which could improve usability during night browsing.
Needs additional features like one-click muting from the audio tab list for easier management.

试了好多款，就这款满意。为何显示此扩展程序未遵循 Chrome 扩展程序的最佳实践，因此可能很快将不再受支持。

This extension remembers the volume of the website, no other extension/app does that. Excellent.

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 Manager requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
