User reviews

For a while now, my extensions been messing with whatever video I'm watching on YouTube. What I mean is that my video will suddenly stop playing and I'll get a "This page is unresponsive" error message. I've taken off the Ultrawidify extension and re-added it multiple times and confirmed that the problem was indeed coming from this extension. Would highly recommend it, if it worked as anticipated, but unfortunately I can't....

do NOT use this. the permissions required give it access to anything on your machine. it works, but it's a scam that only works when you give it permission to access everything
