Users praise the add-on for reliably maximizing videos into a full-window (not fullscreen), working on many sites and succeeding where others fail. Common complaints are lack of keyboard hotkeys and occasional compatibility problems on some Firefox setups, including reported YouTube auto-maximize issues.

Pros

Reliable and effective — many users report it does what it promises and works where other add-ons fail
Keeps video in a full-window (not fullscreen) view, useful for multitasking
Works across a wide variety of websites

Cons

No keyboard hotkey support — users frequently request hotkeys in addition to the button
Compatibility issues for some Firefox users; some report the add‑on didn't work for them
YouTube-specific auto-maximization problems reported by users (may be tied to Firefox/version)

2024-11-04	Sp*****	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.
