Extension summary
There's an annoying lag period when entering/exiting fullscreen on a YouTube video. On my machine, it's normally ~2 seconds; but with a large playlist expanded, it gets up to ~3 seconds. This extension reduces the transition time to almost nothing.
Supported fullscreen transitions:
- Clicking the fullscreen button
- Pressing the F key
- Double-clicking the video
Unsupported fullscreen transitions (still slow):
- Escape
- F11
Note that Firefox doesn't seem to have the same issue as Chrome; so in Firefox the improvement is barely noticeable.
