posted a year agoThank you for the review!
I am downloading Opera GX right now to see what's the sourcery behind their RGX mode.
If possible with Web technologies, I will implement it into the extension for sure.

EDIT:
Apparently they do something within their browser implementation - internally.
However, I've been able to whip something up quickly and achieve better results:

This app helps fix full-screen problems like Star Trek not wanting to work with 21:9 screen ratios even though the shows are basically filmed that way now... or streaming sports apps that auto-zoom and cut off players heads. Occasionally requires some math to re-squish things via the X:Y ratios.
Could maybe use a way to stay "on top" for fullscreen adjustments but I usually just open another window behind it to access menu.Developer response
posted a year agoHey there!
Glad it helps in those situations that you were having issues with.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a solution for the extension popup interface to stay on the top. It seems to be default behaviour on Chrome for example, but Firefox doesn't do it.
I'll do further research on this topic and if possible, I will definitely work on it.
Thank you for the review! - Rated 5 out of 5by Kaespor, a year ago

posted a year agoI wish if you have just opened an issue on a public repo, instead of leaving negative review.
I tested on Disney+ just now and it is working fine. Depending on the show's video size and your screen size, modes may or may not do anything, but you can always upscale manually with X and Y options.- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14721489, a year ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Andjela, a year agoUltraWideo has been a game-changer for my video streaming experience. The extension's speed, adaptability to different platforms, and the ability to eliminate black bars have made it an essential tool for optimizing my content consumption. The minimal interface and customizable shortcuts make it user-friendly, ensuring a seamless and personalized viewing journey. UltraWideo has truly transformed the way I interact with videos online, and I highly recommend it to fellow users seeking an enhanced and enjoyable streaming experience.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14302851, 2 years agoZuerst dachte ich die Erweiterung tut was sie sollte: Youtube Bild auf Vollscreen erweitern. Aber immer wieder bemerkte ich dass mein (extrem schneller) PC völlig lahm wurde. Dann wurden auch noch Mausklicks verspätet eingespielt, was das ganze System durcheinander brachte. Ich bestellte mir deswegen sogar bei Amazon eine neue Maus. Bis ich verstand dass diese Erweiterung meinen gesamten PC durcheinander brachte.

posted a year agoThe extension does not do anything with your mouse, nor does it make any actions delayed, because it simply doesn't activate itself until the video on a webpage is in fullscreen mode. Once you go out of fullscreen, it destructs itself.
Kindly try new version and let me know. It could be that in the past v2 keyboard shortcuts feature may have introduced some lag, but in v3 and upwards that's no longer the case and possibility, because it uses browser built-in commands feature.
Please test again and I'd highly suggest you to use incognito (and allow only ultrawideo in incognito) to make sure that it's not some other extension that interfered with UltraWideo, making your actions have input lag.
Kind regards! - Rated 5 out of 5by days, 2 years ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by brn, 2 years agoIt worked once, but now does nothing.
I have an ultrawide monitor, but get to watch movies cropped. :( - Rated 1 out of 5by dumbo, 2 years agoAre you shure you need full access to EVERY website opened in my browser??
Developer response
posted 2 years agoHello,
Yes, I am sure. Full access is required so that the extension can inject its functionality on every page. Creating a long list of like 1000s of domains that are video streaming platforms world-wide is quite bad and aside there would be no way of knowing if the website has embedded videos on it.
So yes, quite sure it needs full access. - Rated 1 out of 5by Luca, 2 years ago
