- Rated 3 out of 5by Ayrell, 3 years agoDoes what it says it does, but the shortcuts are very confusing.
I cannot get the pause toggle to work with shortcuts, making the extension very annoying to actually use.Developer response
posted 3 years agoWhen extension is paused, it no longer listen for shortcuts. I was trying to completely "disable" it with this behaviour. Seems misleading and people do complain a lot about this "feature".
I will try to fix it, while still in v2. - Rated 4 out of 5by Bananenbiz, 3 years agoI wish it had hybrid upscale too.
Like upscaling the video to 18:9 and then stretching the result to fill up the whole screen. Right now stretch mode is hardly used.
The extension 'UltraWidify' does have this option though, but this extension is way more stable and performs a LOT smoother so I would like to see it here. - Rated 3 out of 5by Black Knight, 3 years agoWorks, but it doesn't have the upscale mode that I need. Upscale seems to fill the screen horizontally from edge to edge, but it can cut off the top and bottom of the video if it's too tall. I'd rather upscale fills the frame vertically, and leaves black bars on the side if it has to. The frame should never be cut off. This is an issue I noticed with Expanse on Amazon Prime. The aspect ratio seems to be non-standard.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Troy, 3 years agoWorks great and I enjoyed it for months when I had a UltraWide but when I upgraded to a Samsung G9 that has a wider aspect it no longer works correctly. It would be really nice if you added support for other resolutions. Right now the only options I have are to not use the add-on, have a ridiculous stretch that is unwatchable, or have it cut inches off the top and bottom of the video. I just want it to fill the screen and leave the sides black so the Video is as large as possible on my screen without cutting anything off. Your screenshots show that I should use "Normal Mode" for this effect but that's not how your addon works, not even with a standard Ultrawide.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Jorge, 4 years agoWorks as expected and solves the annoying fact that Dinsey+ doesn't support ultrawide monitors.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14431287, 4 years agoBest ultrawide extension for Firefox I've found and I've tried many. Even works with local media servers like Jellyfin.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Shmunzle, 4 years agoVielen Dank für diese Extension! Schön, dass hier hier Ideen weiter gedacht werden als bei manchen Desktop-Website Entwicklern der jeweiligen Streamingplattformen.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Connr, 4 years agoThe extension is great but I would love to see support for just removing the letterboxing seen on disney +. I don't want it upscale, just zoomed in enough to remove the letterboxing present.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Glacials, 4 years agoIt appears to not work when you fiddle with it, then when you fullscreen the video it works, so it took me a bit to figure that out. (on Disney+ at least)
- Rated 5 out of 5by Benjelum, 4 years agodoes what it says, as of may 2021. it's a little too auto-magic for my tastes, but it saved movie night! so maybe it's better that it just works as easy as it does.

posted 4 years agoThank you for the review. Can you tell me what it does auto-magically? Did I introduce some kind of bug that you might consider as a feature?
Kind regards! - Rated 3 out of 5by TTT YYY, 4 years agoThe extension has been working great. Except that it seems to be slowing down youtube videos to the point that they have to load (buffer) frequently while watching. I noticed this because I almost have Gigabit speeds on my internet. So I turned it off and the issue stopped.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Froggy, 4 years agoInstalled on Firefox Nightly for Android to fix the problem of the bottom of Youtube videos being cut off in full-screen mode. Works perfectly for my 20:9 Samsung Galaxy A52 screen. It's incredible that Firefox doesn't include this add-on in its normal set of recommended Android add-ons, or simply fix this problem.
