User reviews

UltraWide Video is praised for effectively utilizing the full screen on ultra-wide monitors, enhancing the video watching experience on platforms like YouTube and MyCanal. Users appreciate its ease of use and how it addresses black borders on wide displays. However, some face issues with improper aspect ratio handling resulting in distorted or misplaced videos, and occasional compatibility problems on specific hardware. Users suggest adding features like a fullscreen-only toggle and fixing minor bugs for optimal performance. Overall, it's regarded as one of the best extensions for wide monitors despite some room for improvement.

Pros

Effectively expands video playback to utilize ultra-wide (21:9) monitors, providing an immersive viewing experience.
Works well with popular platforms like YouTube and MyCanal, enabling full-screen or forced crop modes.
Easy to use with beneficial impact on wide and ultra-wide monitors (including 34" and 49" sizes).
Highly appreciated by users for solving the problem of black borders or unutilized screen space on ultra-wide displays.
Maintains video quality while adjusting aspect ratio without noticeable stretching when correctly working.

Cons

Some users report the extension doesn't handle aspect ratio correctly, zooming too much or showing videos distorted or only partially visible in corners.
Occasional compatibility issues on certain monitors (such as MSI 34" 4K) or platforms where video positioning is off.
Lack of options or controls like a toggle to enable the extension only in full-screen mode for experimental use.
Minor inconvenience of console.log messages appearing on all pages as reported by one user.
May require further refinement and updates to fully support all ultra-wide monitor configurations and video sites.

Recent reviews

Great extension. Maybe the developer can add a switch to enable it only in full screen for experimental options.
