Volume Controller Extension

Most of the websites allows us to stream/play videos, but plays at high volume(100%) which is annoying and immediately the user starts searching for volume adjuster.

This extension helps you to get rid of those annoying high volumes and it works similar to your system-level volume manager, which manages for all chrome tabs you are working on.

Changelog:

v0.4 - Configure volume step size

v0.3 - Keyboard shortcuts to increase/decrease/mute volume (see settings page for instructions)

Features:

- Play audio/video media with saved volume settings.

- Remembers previously saved volume level (even after cache clear/reboot). This helps to avoid checking for volume level while opening the chrome app freshly.

- A simple controller which controls volume of a video playing in any tab/window while you're working on other tab/window.

It helps you to get rid of high volume *auto-play* videos while browsing facebook, twitter, web.whatsapp, youtube and any other streaming sites (html5 videos).
