Better Volume Booster
Free and open-source volume booster that remembers your choices.
Better Volume Booster - Open Source Volume Control
"Better Volume Booster" is a free and open-source Firefox add-on designed to enhance your browsing experience by boosting the volume on any webpage. Unlike other volume boosters, it remembers your volume settings for each page, ensuring that your preferences are retained. The only limitation is its inability to adjust the volume on pages with DRM-protected content, like Netflix and Spotify.

Works on Loom where I need it to boost volume, but makes videos on Pinterest have no sound. So, as a workaround, enable, disable, as needed.

Great overall, but seems to break the player on TikTok ("We're having trouble playing this video"
edit: works as per the response, thanks :)
