Sadly doesn't work currently.

Nice Idea
but with newer youtube UI's it doesn't work anymore, hope you can fix it

It is exactly what I'm looking for ! Just a simple way to hide YouTube controls, really helpful when I need to pause in a video in fullscreen to see all the content.

I miss just one thing to rate at 5 stars : a shortcut ! I'd love to have the same toggle system but with my keyboard, maybe the "H" key for "Hide" ? Or better, let us choose :)

But thanks, at least it works great !

i mean it does what is says on the tin; and is something i actually have needed before but never had an extension to do it
