  # Volume Control: Persistent Per-Site Sound (Pro)
  
  **Tired of getting blasted by loud auto-play videos or notification sounds every time you open a new tab?**
  
  Most volume extensions use a technical shortcut called the "Web Audio API" to boost sound. This sounds good on paper, but it actually breaks your browser's Fullscreen mode, causes audio lag, and drains your CPU.
  
  **Volume Control: Persistent Per-Site Sound** is different. It uses native HTML5 automation to control audio and video tags directly. The result? Smooth, crystal-clear sound that stays exactly where you set it—forever—without breaking a single feature of your browser.

  Audio & Video Volume Control - Intelligent Media Manager
  
  Master your browser's audio environment. Control ringtones, voice messages, notification sounds, and video playback individually for every website—without compromising system security or usability.
  
  =========================================
  🎧 THE "LOUD NOTIFICATION" PROBLEM
  =========================================
  We've all been there: You are listening to music on Spotify or watching a YouTube video, so your Windows system volume is set to 100%. Suddenly, you open a web messenger (like WhatsApp Web, Telegram, or Slack) or a news site.
  • BAM! An incoming call ringtone blasts through your headphones.
  • BAM! A voice message plays at a deafening volume.
  • BAM! An auto-playing video startles you.
  
  Standard browser volume controls are "all or nothing." You either mute the tab completely or suffer the noise.
  
  =========================================
  ✅ THE SOLUTION: PERSISTENT, GRANULAR CONTROL
  =========================================
  Audio & Video Volume Control is the precision tool for this specific problem. It detects HTML5 <audio> and <video> elements on a page and allows you to reduce their volume to a comfortable background level (e.g., 20%).
  
  The best part: The extension REMEMBERS YOUR CHOICE. Next time you visit that domain, the volume is automatically applied to all new media elements instantly.
  
  =========================================
  🚀 WHY THIS EXTENSION IS DIFFERENT (Technical Deep Dive)
  =========================================
  There are many volume boosters and equalizers on the Chrome Web Store. Most of them function by intercepting the entire audio stream of a tab using the Web Audio API. While powerful, this invasive approach comes with significant downsides:
  1. Breaks Fullscreen Mode: Manipulating the audio context often prevents video players (YouTube, Netflix, etc.) from entering or staying in fullscreen mode properly.
  2. Security Risks: It requires extensive permissions to read and modify all data on websites.
  3. High CPU Usage: Processing audio streams in real-time consumes battery and processor power.
  
  Our Approach: Non-Invasive & Native
  We do NOT touch the audio stream. Instead, we simply automate the native volume property of the HTML <audio> and <video> tags.
  • Zero Interference: We don't break fullscreen functionality.
  • Native Performance: Zero CPU overhead for audio processing.
  • Maximum Compatibility: Works seamlessly alongside other extensions and DRM-protected content.
  
  =========================================
  🛠 FEATURES
  =========================================
  
  1. Per-Domain Persistence
  Set it and forget it. If you set `web.whatsapp.com` to 10%, it stays at 10% forever, even after restarting the browser.
  
  2. Smart Detection (SPA Support)
  Modern websites load content dynamically. Our optimized algorithms (using MutationObservers) detect when a new audio message, notification sound, or video is added to the DOM and apply your volume preset immediately—often before the sound even starts playing.
  
  3. Global Slider Control
  The clean, simple popup interface provides a master slider for the current tab. Adjusting it updates every media element on the page in real-time.
  
  4. Preventive Control
  You can set the volume level BEFORE an element even appears. The extension ensures that any future media element (like an incoming call) respects this limit instantly upon creation.
  
  =========================================
  📖 HOW TO USE
  =========================================
  1. Install the extension.
  2. Navigate to a website (e.g., a web messenger or video site).
  3. Click the Speaker Icon in your Chrome toolbar.
  4. Adjust the Slider to your desired level (e.g., 20%).
  5. Done! Your setting is saved. Any media played by this site will now respect this limit automatically.
  
  =========================================
  ❓ FAQ & TROUBLESHOOTING
  =========================================
  
  Q: Does it work on YouTube?
  A: Yes! It now supports both <audio> and <video> tags, allowing you to control the volume on YouTube and other video platforms while maintaining fullscreen compatibility.
  
  Q: Will this mute my music on Spotify?
  A: It depends on how the site implements playback. If they use <audio> tags (common for previews or simpler players), yes. If they use Encrypted Media Extensions (EME) or custom video tags, it might not affect it. This is by design: the goal is to tame *notifications* and *auto-play*, not ruin your music.
  
  Q: Does it sync across my computers?
  A: Currently, settings are stored in your browser's local storage to ensure maximum speed and privacy.
  
  =========================================
  🔒 PRIVACY & PERMISSIONS
  =========================================
  We take privacy seriously.
  
  • Storage Permission: Required to save your volume preferences (e.g., "example.com = 0.5").
  • All Urls Permission: Necessary for the content script to run on any domain you visit to detect media tags.
  
  Data Policy:
  • No tracking.
  • No analytics.
  • No data sent to external servers.
  • Your browsing history is yours.
