Reviews & Comments of High-Custom New Tab chrome extension

Works well for me when I need it. A good extension to have.

Great addon for minimalistic people, one downside though is that you cannot change the default BG.

Extremely easy to use. It helps me a lot

SO USEFULL

This extension is so useful to me when I encounter quiet audio. Before this, I would have to turn up my master audio... and I would frequently forget to turn it back down before playing something else. OUCH! I didn't give 5 stars because there is an occasional issue or bug that, upon adjusting tab audio, all audio stops (muted) and I have to restart the browser to fix it. This is VERY rare and shouldn't stop anyone from trying this extension out.

AVOID! Same as others, takes over my new tabs. Ugh! Goofball developer is blowing it for a quick buck, apparently. He/she has some 'splainin to do, quick, or Google is gonna dump this pos. -- once it was very handy volume booster extension, and now the dev morphed it into a BING seach engine page, ffs.

It automagically changes your search engine to BING... no thanks.

I think this app is a goodun! Thanks for making it good!

Bro for the first 2 months it worked fine but when i even touch the logo in the dock of the extension it starts blurring the audio even when it is 40 percent . I have to restart chrome to solve this

It works but I have a question. I paid for the monthly plan HOWEVER...I'm trying to open the equalizer and for some reason while the program knows I paid. I cant get into the setting to open it. It won't let me. That sucks and is unfortunate. Please help, thank you.

The best volume manager extension AND it's free. You can adjust the volume of a tab without being on it and can even boost it if you want. The design is minimal and easy to understand. You can also switch between light mode and dark mode, once again, FOR FREE.

really helpful :)

Not working

it works so its good

Used to be 5 stars but the newest version hasn't worked for the past month

It doesn't work + It's malware, started changing unrelated settings without my permission.

used to use it all the time but now it doesn't work for some reason

Recent update broke the extension. It used to work wonderfully, but now it does nothing but change the new tab layout to something ugly.

Does what it says, but changes the home page kinda weird man

used to work great, current version is broken

I used to be a big fan of this extension, but now it mutes Youtube videos I try to use it on.

I'd give this a full 5 star rating, but the current version is broken, Any attempt to use it just cuts all audio from the tab and you have to kill the tab and make a new one to get audio back... This is annoying enough that i'm gonna just put this here until it's fixed, then i'll change it to a 5 Star, because i used this plugin kinda everywhere, Netflix, Alarm clocks, etc.

stupid

good bass on bass boosted songs, very nice quality but i dont like how it changes my brave browser home page, right now, when i activate it, it mutes youtube.

Seem like new tab thing is gone.

Doesn't work. I added the extension, closed and reopened chrome, tried a new tab, and the only thing it did is change the new tab page.

great addon

The extension is useful but then it changes the search engine on a new tab. That is very annoying and there is no way to disable that 'feature'. Hope the developer gives the option to disable this very annoying feature in the next update. Till then its a one star from me!

it just doesnt work anymore, like boom yea it just stops

very useful, i definitely recommend! :)

worked great. thnq for this extension.

Allows me to control sound perfectly. Sound boost ( past 2.5 times it starts to crackle, but that is probs to my headphones not being strong enough xD) is great thing, but the one thing that draw me to this extension is the possibility to lower sound as well for sites like 9gag. Tnx man you're a life saver :)

this is so good and easy to use, the interface is simple too. i like it a lot

Not bad

Thanks a lot for this attachment, it helped a lot

Get rid of the Google theme, or just make a button where it disables it. Dark Mode would be good also.

Forces change of home page instead of including as an option.

it helped when i was having boring lectures?

perfect!!

Chrome should literally have this feature, especially considering that muting one tab of a certain site mutes ALL tabs of a certain sites

Was working great. Newest update changes your new tab page with no option to opt out of it. No longer recommend until this is adjusted.

it is really good, but i would like to see all my tabs in the little window so it can be more organized

This is suppose to be a tab volume extension, not a new-tab modification extension, get rid of the new tab modifications cause this is infuriating, looking for a new extension now. Updated because this has been removed, thank you.

W extention!!!

Exactly what I was searching for. I do service a lot of specific content, where a low and controlled volume is often desired, but many tend to overdo this certain aspect, so it feels tremendously nice, to be able to have that bit of extra added control. I'm usually comfortable around 20-30% volume, but far too often, do I find myself in need to double, if not, triple my volume; The amount of times, that doing this, has had unpleasant consequences, shortly after... So, I'm currently pleased with what I'm experiencing!

works

Works well apart from the subscription based "open eq" being there all the time.

Do not like the new feature that changes the new tab page

Changing the new tab page by default is a big no-no nope from me.

I supposedly downloaded volume control extension but this is you lost control of your home page extension

I just have some problems, like 1. when i use the extension the volumes get like high pitched? and just weird 2. please remove the new tab theme thing

They did indeed add the hijack back to this extension, it's back to being one star useless. Do not install.

as soon as i installed it, it changed the new tab screen which i didnt like, and then when i hit change back, it uninstalled it so uh please make it not do that thanks

works perfectly, when reaching higher volumes, like above 450%, the sound is a little destored, but this is as expected as you are still usinf the same speakers as before. Very easy to use.

nice

used to be arguably the best volume control extension on this store

love ur app buddy, best extension ive seen imo

Great app to manage volume, but too expensive for the equalizer!

to start off, this extension is great - for its sole purpose. the sound booster was a big need for me. however, the extension forces my new tab theme to change without warning, and if i turn it off, it disables completely. after reading the reviews, it definitely isn´t normal for the extension to do this. please fix this.

Its amazing I love it

Yea it works, but it changes the google appearance.

Nice

Its good very very very very very very very very very good

Very Produnctive and Functional

This update ruined the extension for me! I've been happily using this extension for 5 months, but this newest update forcing my new tab homepage to be... an empty page with just sliders? Really? The "functionality" takes the fun out of music. It's not worth the hassle to have enabled and do my usual browsing with.

I liked the volume manager the way it was, but I like my google chrome the way it was too. Please remove the way the new tab looks. Other than that the volume manager is really helpful, thank you <3

I hated the previous version in which this extension took over the new tab page in my chromium browser. But since it's back to normal, i'm giving this a good review.

Thank you for changing it back to normal!

It was a great extension, until the recent update, where the extension now changes the theme of your browser.

What happened to it. what is this new update, it doesnt work now

It was a great extension until the recent update which made it took over my chrome home page and default to bing for search. Besides this it was a great extension. if it was reverted I would give 5 stars

it was so good and the ruined and i cried it didnt have to be like this we couldve lived happily but u had to ruin and now im sad

Good extension if they haven't added the new tab feature, not going to be using it anymore

I like using the volume manager, but I just want the option to disable this extension from controlling my "New Tab" page. When Chrome asks me to switch back to their standard "New Tab" page, this disables this extension. When I re-enable the extension, it once again takes over my "New Tab" page.

This extension was very nice to have until it started changing my chrome web page with no way to not have it do that. I don't want to see the chrome web page that this developer designed, I want the one that I had before. I installed your app to change the volume on tik tok, not see how you think the new tab landing screen should work. bye

It used to be good but the new update completely ruined it. Why would you think that changing home tab with no way to opt out a good idea?

It changes the chrome home screen, I have found no way to remove that function

This is a Volume Manager, why would you make it to change the homepage? a 'Volume Manager' shouldn't be interfering with anything else and there's not even a warning about the upcoming update that change's the homepage UI and search engine to Bing.

Is there any way to turn off the homescreen change?

I <3 it it help me so much! @edit You forced changed new tab.. not nice Also shortcut Alt+down/up stopped working Thank you 4 your work!

Recent update added a forced homepage with no way to opt out. What a stupid update, very frustrating as the actual plugin works and looks fantastic. Guess I will go look for something else and come back in a couple weeks to see if they've fixed this. Old Review: The best volume controller, no contest

Takes over your 'new tab' page with no option to disable that aspect. Taking over the 'new tab' page is completely unrelated from managing volume - horrible bloat and removes the trust I have in the extension.

changes your home page for no reason

While I like being able to manage the volume on tabs, I hate that it changes the theme of new tabs when I open them. I just want to turn volume up and down, not break my new tabs. At least let us opt out of that feature

I loved the extension until they added a feature that forced you to change the look of your home tab, i just wanted to edit my volume, not my entire background, either add a feature to toggle it on or off, or completely get rid of it.

changed tab

Worked great until they added something that changes the new tab page for literally no reason, WITHOUT an option to turn it off. Now it's safe to say this extension belongs in the garbage. Don't use this ever. Even if they change it back, which they probably won't, do not install this trash heap.

Could anybody tell me how to remove the new-tab look, but still keep the volume controller ?

I loved the extension untill the update that changed my new tab page

pog not sus

It used to work well until they decided to make it change new tabs

Malware, changes homepage to bing for no reason. Get another addon. Used to be great till they turned it into a malware.

This was good but new update which changes the new tab forcibly is not good at all. I would like it to revert to its previous way.

Don't change our new tab or at least give an option to disable that.

The ability to change my tab volume was one that was very useful to have. Like others have said, the recent update that forces your new tab to change is terrible one. There is no option to disable that and you are forced to use it. Disabled for now and looking for alternative until this have been resolved.

Was the best volume changing extension at the time I downloaded it a few years ago, even recommended just a few days ago, but after update 34 (April 30th, 2021) I can no longer recommend it, it now overrides the "new tab" page, with no way to turn it off.

Just installed this, works pretty good, and then i open a new tab and this extension took over my new tab and you can't turn it off. Uninstalled immediately

why does this extension need to change my home page? this is a volume extension not a home page extension completely pointless and annoying should not be forced

as a volume manager it is great, but now it is changing my default new tab page to some absolute garbage? unfortunate that the developer does something stupid like that and makes me move to some other extension

Fine volume control but this replaced new tab page is nonsensical. Why would I want a volume manager to replace my new tab page? If there was an obvious way to disable the page, it might not be a problem. But as is, I am absolutely uninstalling

Love the extension but recent changes have made me give this extension a bad review. If you want a volume manager it works great but the most recent change, takes over your new tab screen. it controls which are your new recent sites and has a search bar which defaults to bing. There is a switch to google button but i should have the option to choose which is the default search engine. Changes which would make me rate this extension better: -Being able to disable the extension taking control of my new tab (VERY IMPORTANT) -if I were to use the new tab feature, i should be able to change the default search engine. I should have to use the button to change it. -have the new tab be more customizeable (select background color/image, etc).
