It fills gaps where native volume controls are missing, such as Facebook and Instagram Shorts. However, users report inconsistent functionality on certain sites like Twitch and game event pages. Common issues include delayed or ineffective volume changes and limited detection primarily to video tabs. Some users experience it not working at all or lacking convenient right-click controls.

Oh my god, it works for bandcamp. That's all I need it for. Too bad I can't just right click the tab and control it but it'll do!
