## Description

**Ultrawide Netflix** is a Chrome extension designed for ultrawide (21:9) screens to provide an immersive movie-watching experience on Netflix. By simply clicking the extension icon while playing a 21:9 movie, the video will fulfill your ultrawide screen when going fullscreen, eliminating black bars and optimizing viewing.

The extension offers convenient keyboard shortcuts for different zoom and stretch modes:
- Ctrl+Shift+1: Apply regular zoom.

- Ctrl+Shift+3: Apply a mixed zoom and stretch mode, ideal for certain TV series like *Dark*.

This project is open source and respects your privacy—it injects JavaScript only to modify display settings and does not access or collect any user data. It's a perfect solution for ultrawide screen owners seeking better Netflix video presentation with easy toggling and mode customizations.

## Review summary

Ultrawide Netflix is praised for effectively removing black bars on ultrawide monitors, enhancing Netflix viewing. It is simple to use and appreciated by users with large screens. However, common issues include unresponsive shortcut keys and toolbar button, conflicts with other extensions, and lack of shortcut customization. Some users report compatibility problems with certain Firefox versions. Additionally, users desire broader streaming service support beyond Netflix.

### Pros

- Effectively removes black bars in Netflix for ultrawide monitors, improving viewing experience.
- Easy to use with simple mode selection and browser refresh to activate.
- Works well on large 34-35" ultrawide monitors with high resolutions (e.g., 3440x1440).
- Gratitude expressed by users who enjoy Netflix on big ultrawide screens.

### Cons

- Shortcut keys often do not work or conflict with other extensions (e.g., Google Translate).
- The add-on icon/button sometimes does nothing when clicked, leading to usability issues.
- Lack of options to customize shortcut keys or graphical user interface for mode selection.
- Not compatible with all Firefox versions (e.g., issues reported with FF106).
- Does not support streaming platforms other than Netflix, like Disney Plus, as requested by users.
