Pros

Makes videos fill the screen of the current tab instead of going full screen
Works well with a variety of websites including sports betting sites and local news platforms
Fixes broken video players and allows for speed adjustments on live streams
Functions as advertised and is reliable
User-friendly with minimal setup required

Cons

No keyboard shortcuts mentioned
Preference for black bars instead of white bars on videos that don't match the aspect ratio
Does not pause with a click (requires space bar)
Issues with specific sites like PornHub where it previously worked

Recent reviews

Works perfectly For the ones like @Matt Fiskarna that would like it better if it put black bars around videos that don't match the window's aspect ratio you should do a right click then "options" and at the very bottom of the pop-up, you have "keep youtube bar". While selected (and refresh your Youtube page) you then have the perfect bar ;)

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.
