- Rated 5 out of 5by lulul, 10 months agoi don't have an ultrawide monitor, but since every video now has some other aspect ratio than the regular 16:9 monitors, this extension is a must.
thank you and good job! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15274463, 10 months ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Buschti, 10 months agoI had to downgrade to Version 3.3.4 because the Addon doesn't work on some sites it used to work with. Example 1: "heute.de" (reroutes to zdf.de) videos show a black screen, when viewed in fullscreen mode. Example 2: I sometimes watch videos via the Plex Web App and since the newest version the Addon doesn't seem to register the player anymore and stays in 16:9 in fullscreen mode.
Both sites work fine with the downgraded version.
EDIT: fixed the problems I had with it. Thumbs up!Developer response
posted 10 months agoFixed for "zdf.de". They added some kind of weird padding to the wrapper of the container , so extension will now remove that extra thing from their platform. But I will wait for release to see if there are any other issue reports that I can resolve.
Can you tell me more about Plex? I just tried it and it seems to work the same way it was. I wait for ad to finish, movie starts, I go fullscreen – it works. - Rated 1 out of 5by FireView, a year agoa good portion of the video on the top and bottom is gone due to the zoom of this extension. It does go fullscreen but you lose video as a result.
If you don't mind that, it works! otherwise I'd like to see the whole video and it doesn't work well enough.Developer response
posted a year agoYou can use Normal mode and then tweak Scale options to your needs. Leave some black bars and avoid distortion. - Rated 5 out of 5by Lauren, a year ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by malihide, a year agoWonderful addon for those of us with a secondary or primary CRT monitor, since a lot of people forget to encode youtube uploads in 4:3 even if they contain no data outside that resolution.
My only request would be to allow it on a per-tab basis or restrict it to certain aspect ratios, since my primary monitor is ultrawide and I'd have to disable it manually every time I wanted to switch monitors. It looks like that's a work in progress for the pro version, but I'm not sure. Excellent addon nonetheless. It works instantly and flawlessly. - Rated 5 out of 5by ykjoy, a year ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by TheInfidel, 2 years agoIve been using Ultrawidify for long, but it has major performance issues with 4k 60fps ultrawide (on very powerful hardware you will have 1% frame drops with it enabled). This extension is far slicker, lower footprint, does not cause ANY issues with the same footage, and it offers a very convenient way of adapting a quite troubled aspect ratio of superultrawide 5120x1440 32:9 to the needs of the user. It must be said that 5120x1440 32:9 is basically a failed concept of aspect ratio implementation on a monitor that is supposed to play content NOT natively made in that same format. It will NEVER work properly fullscreen without cropping or distortion. This resolution should have received a 32:10 monitor solution. Sadly cheaping out on the panel size made it a sad affair for scaling video content. The solution for me is to set X to 0:9 and Y 1.3 in stretch mode.This will have small horizontal black bars but they are a acceptable trade off , minimal cropping the content,and have a natural viewing experience with no distortion.
Alternatively setting it to NORMAL with X at 1.9 and Y at 1 will not crop anything, while having minimal black bars vertically.
Conclusion. No software solution can provide the perfect 32:9 5120x1440 experience. It is inherently a unbypassable hardware problem to display content not natively provided in that format. A video game that offers the resolution settings does this. A video not recorded in that same format can not, no upscaling or stretching can remedy this to perfection.
What i do not like is the paywall for pro features, at least name a price and the added functionality in your UI.Developer response
posted a year agoAppreciate the thorough review, TheInfidel.
Duly noted, regarding the paywall. As you may conclude from that, I am not really pushing people to upgrade to Pro. It's more of a support the development - type of thing.
Aside, I did not want to bloat the extension size by adding a bunch of text into the Popup window. At some point, I might describe it a bit better and have a page dedicated to the features and pricing, before authentication lock. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16128282, 2 years agoThank you for this extension! I can watch full screen on my 4:3 TV
