- Rated 1 out of 5by FireView, 10 months 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 9 months 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, a year 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, a year agoThank you for this extension! I can watch full screen on my 4:3 TV

posted a year agoNoted! Thanks for the review. In the latest update I have disabled update notifications.
That is, until I think of a good solution where everyone will be satisfied. A way to toggle update notifications on/off, somewhere outside of the popup I assume. - Rated 5 out of 5by Hereiam, a year ago
