Summary

This addon is a copy of https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/600-sound-volume/ with ads/tracking removed since the author blatantly lies in their privacy policy. (The original addon always fetches a list of domains from https://ad.resourcefulman.net/banner/ad-locations.txt, and attempts to fetch an ad banner from https://ad.resourcefulman.net/banner?ref={DOMAIN} when the user visits a domain listed in the obtained ad-locations.txt list; It also ALWAYS injects an iframe with the adbanner if the user is on a supported page, but only shows it if the user permits it).

Additionally, this version is actually open source

probably good extension. though it stopped rumble.com's videos to work properly. they won't play with this add-on active.

Doesn't work properly like the other one. I turn up a tab up and it turns it up but then if I go to change it again it just is at default 100. Also I noticed it doesn't show the tabs that are playing audio.
