| 2025-01-15 |  | | en | Works great so far. |
| 2025-01-13 |  | | en | The button doesn’t always appear, and you constantly have to reload the page just to get it to show up. It’s beyond annoying. What’s even worse is that the auto-fullscreen feature no longer works. It used to function perfectly, but now it’s locked behind a paywall. Charging for what was once a basic feature is absolutely unreasonable. If the extension worked as intended, I’m sure many users, including myself, would have been happy to donate. But forcing an annual subscription just to restore basic functionality is unacceptable. --- Update: I uninstalled this extension from Chrome and replaced it with the "YouTube Fullscreen Mode" script from GreasyFork. It works way better, gets fast updates, and is completely open-source and free. |

| 2024-12-17 |  | | en | was a very solid extension before they added premium, not only did they put auto fullscreen behind a paywall, they made the app much less reliable (wont even load sometimes). The only reason I was using this in the first place was because tampermonkey couldnt auto sync scripts across devices meaning id have to manually install the script (that essentially does what this extension does for free) on every device. Now that this is the less convenient option of the two, looks like im going to be switching back. |
| 2024-12-07 |  | | en | it's pretty useful but does have alot of issues, like having to adjust permissions constantly and reloading youtube to get it to work, rating it 2 stars because when it does work it's very usefull. |
| 2024-12-06 |  | | en | Works; fine freemium model for my needs - sign up is misleading, but it's totally optional and not required for the extension to function... unless you want the premium features. I would suggest the developer move to a donation based approach and open a buymeacoffee or kofi allowing folk to buy a lifetime model rather than try and make a subscription, especially with how anti-subscription folk are becoming nowadays. I understand that they are in an economic difficulty at the moment, but if you drive away everyone then you won't even have a userbase to get funding from. |
| 2024-12-01 |  | | en | Asking people to pay for something that doesn't work. |
| 2024-11-14 |  | | en | Doesn't work - still have windowed "full screen" |
| 2024-11-11 |  | | en | dev is moving established features behind a paywall. it's about time to find a new one |
