Anyone has a general solutions for this? Lots of time that i open such apps featured on hn they're always on 100% volume with no way to turn it down and it blows up my ears... I'm using firefox and tried some volume extension but it was a 20% chance if it worked on the website or not


Set ‘media.default_volume’ to 0.3 or so in about:config.


On ff mobile, where Mozilla in their endless wisdom disabled about:config, the same can be reached via url chrome://geckoview/content/config.xhtml .


A physical volume knob on or near your keyboard.


On linux there's a suite of audio effects that work with pipewire. Compressor and limiter are included so it should be possible to do what you need.

In Chrome I set all sites to be muted by default. I assume Firefox has the same feature.
