Not enough customizability. I don't like that I can only select from presets - I need to be able to select my own ratios.

This is an excellent little tool for the vast majority of use cases, and it just works. I've been using this to watch 4:3 videos on my 4:3 CRT and it's great. I've actually tested every obscure aspect ratio I could think of and I haven't found any that I haven't been able to correct with this extension. The only way to improve it is if you could make custom zoom and stretch options, because currently the highest zoom you can do is capped at 142%.

Работает как надо. Для просмотра на старом мониторе самое то, чтоб не присматриваться к узкой картинке.
