In code review (v0.2.2)

Our reviewer read version 0.2.2 — the most recent version we have reviewed — and found no malicious behaviour. The version shown here has not been individually reviewed yet.

What our analysis found

Volume Booster for YouTube™, used by 90,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can inject scripts into pages. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in September 2026.

The extension's code is transparent and solely enhances YouTube audio using the Web Audio API. No data exfiltration, tracking, or code injection outside YouTube was found. The use of scripting and early execution is necessary for functionality, and telemetry is limited to the publisher's own domain. The high risk score from the engine is due to broad but minimally scoped permissions and an early content script, which are not indicative of malicious behavior in context.

About this extension

Increase the volume of the YouTube™ player twice, resembling the VLC player

Read the publisher’s full description

The Volume Booster extension is a tool designed to enhance the audio output of supported media players. Whether you're watching videos or listening to music, this extension aims to elevate your audio experience by boosting the volume level beyond the standard limitations with greater clarity and impact. The extension installs a "2x" button next to the settings button of the YouTube player. It is disabled by default. If the user clicks the button once, the audio gain node is installed on the source node, causing the audio volume to increase level twice (200%; similar to VLC player). You can click the button once more to deactivate the boosting. Note: The compatibility of this extension with your audio equalizer extension may vary. Its compatibility is dependent on the method used by the equalizer to perform audio filtering, whether it is applied directly to the player (not compatible) or to the page itself (compatible). This extension supports volume boosting with keyboard shortcuts. Read the FAQs page for more info
