OG: Works great for cropping widescreen to 4:3. Although in 3.5.0 a watermark was added for free users, shame it used to be open-source too :/

posted 3 months agoThank you for your input. I did not expect this tiny watermark to be huge annoyance, but seeing many negative feedback the watermark is removed in version 3.5.1.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Moz-4817, 3 days agoIt works decently well, but important features are locked behind a paid subscription that somehow requires a github account. I'm usually happy to donate if an extension is useful, but to not even be able to use it outside of fullscreen if I don't? And I didn't see a way to try the paid features and verify they actually work before paying, maybe I missed it.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19503441, 19 days agoGhostery, Adblocker Ultimate, AD Guard, Malwarebytes Browser Guard, Return Youtube Dislike Button, Open In VLC, and Ultra Wideo. These are the extensions I use to secure an amazing experience on Firefox. Been using Firefox since the 2000's. This is the first app I ever wrote a review for.
All these other extensions deserved my first review. This one just saved my purchase indefinitely.
If you have an 3440X1440 monitor, this works for all sites to get rid of those annoying ass black bars. ON ALL SITES. Youtube, others, this is the best one.
Keep up the good work fellas.
FYI people make sure you set to "STRETCH" for the best experience. - Rated 4 out of 5by Pablo, 22 days agoUseful, but subtitles don't show when in use (I use it to watch diney+)

- Rated 4 out of 5by Ryan, 2 months agoI’ve noticed an issue when using UltraWideo with Apple TV+ in the Firefox browser. When I stretch the video to fill my screen, the Apple TV+ subtitles no longer display correctly. They get cut off or covered up, making them unreadable. This didn't used to happen, I believe. I suspect the extension is applying the stretch only to the

posted 2 months ago1. Not really. It's freemium, so payment is not mandatory.
2. No, where did you get that misinformation from? It collects zero data.- Rated 5 out of 5by Steven, 3 months agoWorks amazing. Please do not add the watermark back as that is a deal breaker for OLED users.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Matthew, 3 months agoHotkeys don't always work in firefox. Whyyyyy is there a watermark? I'm uninstalling and searching for an alternative simply because of the dumb watermark.
Developer response
posted 3 months agoIf they don't work, it's firefox issue. Because extension is using browser's shortcuts API.
Watermark will disappear in 3.5.1, but Mozilla is slow on approval. Should happen this week I guess. Try Chrome? Developer response

After kindly listening to our feedback, the developer changed this, and I can now wholeheartedly recommend the add-on! Much appreciated.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19031810, 4 months agoThis fixed the problem where when I would try to watch anime on my websites this allowed me to force a true full screen aspect ratio thanks
- Rated 4 out of 5by Shrugal, 4 months agoWorks great for the most part. Only problem I have is that it makes Plex fail to change the video (next/previous, changing a stream etc.) when in fullscreen mode.
- Rated 5 out of 5by lulul, 5 months agoi don't have an ultrawide monitor, but since every video now has some other aspect ratio than the regular 16:9 monitors, this extension is a must.
thank you and good job! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15274463, 5 months ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Buschti, 5 months agoI had to downgrade to Version 3.3.4 because the Addon doesn't work on some sites it used to work with. Example 1: "heute.de" (reroutes to zdf.de) videos show a black screen, when viewed in fullscreen mode. Example 2: I sometimes watch videos via the Plex Web App and since the newest version the Addon doesn't seem to register the player anymore and stays in 16:9 in fullscreen mode.
Both sites work fine with the downgraded version.
EDIT: fixed the problems I had with it. Thumbs up!Developer response
posted 5 months agoFixed for "zdf.de". They added some kind of weird padding to the wrapper of the container , so extension will now remove that extra thing from their platform. But I will wait for release to see if there are any other issue reports that I can resolve.
Can you tell me more about Plex? I just tried it and it seems to work the same way it was. I wait for ad to finish, movie starts, I go fullscreen – it works.
