Why the scroll wheel
YouTube's volume slider is small and only shows up when you hover the player controls. The arrow keys change volume in 5% steps and only work when the player has focus. At quiet listening levels, one 5% step is often the gap between too soft and too loud.
Volume Scroller moves volume to the mouse wheel while your cursor is over a player. Each notch changes the level by the step you pick, from 1% to 10%, and a short on-screen indicator shows where you landed. Move the cursor off the player and the page scrolls as usual.
It does not touch YouTube's Stable Volume setting or your system volume. It only sets the player's own level, so everything else in YouTube keeps working the way you expect.

Common questions
Which browsers does it work in?
Chrome and Firefox, plus Chromium browsers that install from the Chrome Web Store, such as Edge, Brave, and Opera.
Does it work on Shorts, YouTube Music, and embeds?
Yes. Shorts and YouTube Music work out of the box. Embedded YouTube players on other sites work once you turn on embedded players in the popup, though some custom embeds are not supported.
Will it get in the way when I scroll the page?
Volume only changes while your cursor is over a player. If you scroll past videos a lot, set a modifier so volume changes only while you hold Alt, Ctrl, Shift, or the right mouse button.
Can it make YouTube louder than 100%?
No. It changes the player volume between 0% and 100%, the same range as the YouTube slider, just in steps you choose.
