I hate to give a negative review, but this didn't work for me. I'm using Firefox though, so maybe it just doesn't work well with that particular browser. Also, this review is for version 0.0.23 of this add-on, so the issue may be fixed in later versions. Don't be afraid to give it a shot, but I wouldn't get me hopes up until the kinks are worked out.

Use it all time, great addon. I wish you'd add a hotkey for it in addition to the button.

Extension safety
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk
impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of
damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your
personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they
do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
Maximize Video requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
Risk impact analysis details
- Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
- Critical ******* ****** ** *** ********* ******** ********************
- High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious.
This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on
Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been
around, and other signals about the
Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change
as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always
exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
Maximize Video is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
Risk likelihood analysis details
