Full summary

When installing Video Tape you automatically agree to the terms of use which may be viewed any time from the options screen of Video Tape.

Allows you to tape most videos to the window's edges so you can scroll down while the video plays on screen.

BETA EXTENSION do not install unless you know what you are doing and will report bugs before reviewing. Thanks!

After installation: you will have to refresh any pages that you would like to use VideoTape on - these pages should have videos on them - usually multiple videos - you may have to try a few.

History: Video Tape is the culmination of several iterations. This is the history of Video Tape (largely unreleased) VidzFixed, Flash Stick, VideoTape. It is also loosely tied to the concepts that were released in one of my first web extensions VidzBigger (which no longer works)

Needed: Override z-index without modifying DOM structure, OR flash video does not restart playing when it's position in DOM structure is modified.

Sometimes the fixed position video becomes unclickable or you can click right through it, so you cannot pause it or modify volume. You will have to return it to it's original position on the page by clicking it again in these cases.

Access websites blocked in your country, company, or school with Hola. Hola is free and easy to use!

You do NOT need to sign up or open a Hola account for most sites - just add to Chrome and start using. Hola enables you to access websites blocked or censored in your country with its unique and fast tunneling technology.

The Hola extension works 100% standalone. It does not link to, nor encourage the download of any other products and is fully functional as is, without requiring any additional download.

The free version unblocks most websites for a limited period of time. To unblock all websites with no time limits, sign-up and subscribe to Hola Premium - you don't need to install anything!

Hola requires the following permissions:

  • Proxy: Let Hola extension proxy your traffic through a server in another country to change your IP and unblock restricted sites. Why? This is the basic requirement for unblocking a website.

  • AllHosts/WebRequest/WebRequestBlocking: Let Hola extension check every web request and modify it. Why? Hola is the fastest unblocker because it uses split-tunneling technology to only proxy the minimum number of web requests needed to unblock a site - and only when necessary.
