| 2024-08-26 |  | | en | Works fine but Google warns This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions. I will request to the author to update the extension as soon as possible. |

| 2024-01-02 |  | | en | A bit buggy, prob about 75% success rate, but that's 75% more instances that I was able to go full screen when I wouldn't have been able to otherwise . TikTok website is a prime example. Super buggy, bordering on not worth the trouble. An "off-label" (but extremely handy) use in addition to obvious "on-label" uses: even when platforms DO allow full screen video, many of them think it's cool to still serve visitors w/ pop-ups/overlays, etc., completely polluting the screen's real estate (NOT cool with the video in full screen mode! Honor/observe the standards, f**ktards!) However, if you use Fullscreen Anything in such instances, the ONLY thing you'll see aside from the video is the extension's OSD (progress bar) and that's only when you move the mouse to the bottom of the screen and click. Otherwise, ALL pop-ups, annotations, end cards, intermission cards, reminders, etc. may as well not exist as far as we're concerned (I think they're actually still there, just underneath this extension, so, "out of sight, out of mind"). This has come in handy more times than I can effectively express to instantly eradicate all unwanted noise and be left with just the desired video file. So, thanks Dev! Keep up the good work! If you just squash the occasional bug here and there, Fullscreen Anything will ultimately get the recognition it deserves General note to users/reviewers - before you leave a negative rating and review, try disabling all other extensions and see if the problem persists. If it does, let the developer know and give them a chance to squash the bug or at least offer some helpful input. if they don't respond or at least acknowledge your issue after a reasonable amount of time, all bets are off and it's fair game to speak your truth. Just keep in mind that ratings/reviews are a big deal for devs and just a couple of poor reviews can be a death blow to the software/extension/etc. (even a solitary negative review can be a nail in the coffin for new projects or those with little to no preexisting user feedback). In closing, don't drop a 1 star rating/predominantly nasty review without considering whether you've ruled out everything on your end (user error, interference from other apps/extensions/etc., etc.) and confirmed that the rating and review are fair/justified. |
