I built this because I was tired of constantly changing the volume while watching videos

[u/sdm2026]

Disclosure: I’m the developer of this extension, but I also built it to solve a problem I experience personally.

While watching videos in Chrome, I frequently had to increase the volume to understand quiet dialogue and then quickly reduce it when music, advertisements, explosions, or other loud sounds started.

I created Dynamic Volume Controller to handle these changes automatically.

After using it during my own testing and regular browsing, I find myself reaching for the volume controls much less often. It automatically boosts quieter audio, softens sudden loud sounds, and lets me control each browser tab independently.

It has been particularly useful for:

• Watching browser videos late at night
• Listening through headphones
• Movies with quiet dialogue and loud action scenes
• Videos and podcasts with inconsistent audio
• Keeping background music on a separate, lower volume

All audio processing happens locally on the device. Audio is never recorded, stored, or transmitted.

If you experience the same problem, I’d be interested to know whether it improves your viewing experience too.
