Description
⚬ PROBLEM:
I'm frustrated by the inability to boost volume on videos. The Forced Volume option under Player has the strange behavior of setting all volume controls on newly opened YouTube videos to maximum, then, I guess, some volume amplification is done in the background.
⚬ SOLUTION:
The behavior I expect is to have the volume slider on newly opened players be where I set it last, and to have the volume boost added to that level, not to set the slider to maximum, then amp up the volume from there.
⚬ RELEVANCE / SCOPE:
I claim this affects all users.
⚬ "SIDE EFFECTS":
No conflicts.
⚬ CONTEXT:
Thank you!

Research direction
Start by locating the Player settings and the Forced Volume option, then trace how YouTube player volume is applied when a new video opens. Done means the slider keeps its previously selected level while volume boosting remains separate; verify this across newly opened videos.
