Version 1.2.1 improves player compatibility:

• Prevents a cause of silent audio when adjusting volume on some embedded players.
• Uses normal 0–100% volume when boosting is unavailable and explains the limit.
• Improves support for embedded players, dynamically loaded media and players inside web components.
• Keeps Play responsive while the browser waits for permission to boost audio.
• Improves play/pause icons and popup sizing.

No additional permissions are required. Refresh existing video tabs after updating. Boosting remains subject to player and browser restrictions.

Volume Maxer 1.2.0

• Added play/pause controls for the current tab and other media tabs. Paused tabs remain available to resume.
• Added optional Auto-skip YouTube ads: mute detected ads, fast-forward at up to 16×, and attempt a skip when YouTube offers Skip. Works in background tabs with the popup closed.
• Automatic ad controls are off by default. Enable them using the switch in the popup.
• Restore sound and playback speed after ads.
• Added manual Skip ad controls.
• Improved saved volume settings, including 0%, independent tab volumes, and temporary private-window settings.
• Improved Reset, playback status, keyboard accessibility, and error messages.
• Removed external popup font and artwork requests.

The new navigation permission is used to find embedded media players. Settings stay in your browser; no analytics or browsing data is sent to the developer.

Requires Firefox 142 or newer. Refresh existing media tabs after updating. YouTube ad controls may not work with every ad format.
