Is it possible to make it work with cross-project board like : `https://<company>.atlassian.net/jira/people/712320:4031e64e-e155-4537-95c8-a0f24a3f8598/boards/192/`? It will be really helpful.

Was great. But is broken as of now, does not remove any header and resizes nothing, AFAICS. So needs to be updated, to become that great plugin it was.

This has been great, but as of Chrome 92.0.4515, this breaks vertical scroll.
