Finally an extension that did what I wanted without me needing to keep youtube on 175% zoom. One minor issue is if I F11 my YT window the player scales such that it cuts off everything below the search bar of the video.

Works as advertised. When switching back from theatre mode to regular mode, there's a huge space at the top of the page left behind.
