WHAT IT DOES:
Universal Video Maximizer is a free and open source Chrome extension that allows users to watch videos in full-browser-window mode on most websites, without having to give the extension permissions to every site. It also has a "theater mode" that removes the navigation bar and other UI elements for a undistracted viewing experience.
Full-screen is TOO BIG for ultrawide screens monitors. This is where full-window really shines.
✔ Dark themed theater mode
✔ Secure and private!
✔ Great for ultrawide monitors
✔ Free and open source
✔ Working great since 2013
✔ 🆕 Control playback speed anywhere
This extension is FREE and done as a hobby.
