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.

This is the best one. If it doesnt work, Use CCleaner to delete ur cache and check ur registry for errors, fix any registry errors and try again it should work.
