Extension summary

Simple YouTube Windowed Fullscreen is an extremely simple extension (only 12 lines of code) that allows you to open YouTube videos in their own pop-up windows.

This is great if you're watching a long video or movie and want to multi-task. Or, you just like being able to see your taskbar and to easily manage the YouTube video's display.

This was made in a few hours (had to learn a bit of JavaScript and Chrome API), but I'd be happy to add any new features and to fix any bugs!

Ich nutze ein Samsung 49 Zoll Super Ultrwawide Bildschirm. Wenn ich bei Videos im Vollbild ansehe geht mir extrem viel Platz verloren. Bisher habe ich die Erweiterung windowed dazu genutzt ein Video in ein eigenes Fenster auszulagern und dieses Fenster dann mit Windows Mitteln in die linke oder rechte Bildschirmhelfte zu verfrachten. Leider wird diese Erweiterung bald nicht mehr von Chrome unterstützt. Diese Erweiterung hier ist eine sehr gute alternative und funktioniert perfekt.

I love it! Can you please assign a keyboard shortcut to apply the function and take it to full screen? Like the key F or V, something one letter. Thank you!!
