User reviews
Users appreciate the extension's simplicity and usefulness for fullscreen video and distraction-free viewing, especially on laptops without convenient F11 keys. However, common issues include the browser window resizing annoyingly when exiting fullscreen, limited functionality on some websites, and missing features like auto fullscreen to entire screen. Some users find it redundant given the F11 key, but others find it valuable for coding or dedicated displays.
Pros
- Simplifies full screen viewing, useful especially for laptop users.
- Works well for YouTube videos and enhances video watching experience.
- Helpful alternative to using F11 key, especially on laptops without easy access to it.
- Easy to exit full screen mode by hovering at the top and clicking an X.
- Simple and effective for coding and display purposes like Raspberry Pi projects.
Cons
- Exiting full screen mode often changes the browser window size from maximized to restored down, which is annoying.
- Does not always work perfectly on all sites like Plex or YouTube homepage, sometimes showing ads or interface elements.
- Shortcut keys or auto full screen features are limited or do not work as expected over time.
- Functionality seen as redundant by some users since F11 key achieves similar results.
- Lack of settings to auto full screen videos to actual screen rather than within browser window.
