Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Need to remove unnecessary black bars from this youtube video you're watching? Ultrawidify is here for you.

🌟🌟🌟 MAIN FEATURES 🌟🌟🌟 ⚠️ Features automatic aspect ratio detection (not all sites are supported — support may vary from site to site) ✅ Supports primarily youtube, twitch, and netflix. (Other websites are not officially supported. Ultrawidify may work on them, but support is not guaranteed) ↔️ Supports both cropping and stretching ✅ Works with youtube theater mode

❓ How do I use it? If the site does not utilize DRM, you can just sit back and let autodetection handle everything for you. On sites that use DRM — or on videos where autodetection proves unreliable — you can either use the extension popup or the keyboard shortcuts (note that extension shortcuts do not override site's default shortcuts) to set the aspect ratio manually.

💬 Features in detail 💬

1️⃣ Automatic aspect ratio detection This feature ensures that video will be cropped without you having to lift a finger. It runs continuously and will even detect aspect ratio changes that happen in the middle of the video.

Please don't fix something that isn't broken.

Once a great extension turned into utter pre-alpha garbage. Sad. It used to work much better prior to latest update. Now it randomly shrinks video to a small rectangle, it forces its silly and unnecessary in-player UI by default, it reset my settings from before, it doesn't support hotkeys to scale up/down in steps as it used to. I can tell that developer worked a lot on this update and it's looking promising, but from relatively lightweight and easy to use extension which simply worked it turned into a mess.
