Was great until i noticed the adverts popping up when pausing videos. Location of the banner makes it inconvenient

Was looking for a way to resize youtube so i could have reference videos playing in a corner while working with several other files. This essentially turns the youtube tab into a screen with no white space, which gets it done for me.
