Love it. I like to watch local news on zeam.com and this extension allows it to fill the screen within the browser.

Works great, but I'd like it better if it put black bars around videos that don't match the window's aspect ratio. Trying to watch a wide-screen video with blinding white bars on the top and bottom ruins this extension for me.
