Overview

Tab Volume Controller gives you independent volume control for every tab in your browser.
No more being overwhelmed by a loud video while you’re trying to listen to music or watch a webinar – simply adjust each tab’s volume from a clean popup interface.

✨ Features
🎚️ Per‑tab volume sliders – Each captured tab gets its own slider.

🔊 Smart filtering – Only tabs playing audio are shown, but captured tabs remain accessible even when silent.

💾 Persistent volume – Your volume settings are saved and restored across browser sessions.

🎨 Modern design – Clean, dark‑light theme with smooth animations.

⚡ Lightweight & fast – Uses Chrome’s built‑in tabCapture API, no heavy background processing.

🔧 How to Use
Click the extension icon in the toolbar.

Find the tab you want to control – it will appear if it’s playing audio.

Click Capture – the tab will be muted and a volume slider will appear.

Drag the slider to adjust the volume. The original tab stays muted, so you only hear the level you set.

To stop controlling a tab, click Stop – the tab will unmute and return to normal.
