2025-08-19	Ry*****	Reliable overall master volume for Firefox. Really amazingly helpful in my Mac-based studio, as my recording sessions are much lower loudness than brickwall-limited sounds sources like YouTube and social media, or even teleconferencing like Google Meets, so I am able to adjust the volumes to match. 10/10. Good stuff.

2022-06-13	Fi*****	This plugin works well overall. However, it does not work without intervention for embedded audio players. In other words, I have to start playing the audio and then adjust the volume whereas for links to audio such as word pronunciations and videos work fine without intervention. I can just set it lower and it automatically plays lower. That said, I would like the control to be a bit more granular. While one notch can be a little to high, the next notch down is a little too low. Similar to the embedded audio problem, the same issue occurs with embedded videos; at least those in presentations within Canvas. Fix these issues and I will give this five stars and edit my review.

2022-02-08	Mt*****	Works as intended, and provides lower volume as well, not just a boost. However, if I'm listening to a playlist on Youtube, whenever there's an onscreen ad (a box in the middle of the screen), playback goes silent between tracks. One has to move the slider for sound to re-appear. If there's no ad, sound playback seems unaffected.
