- Rated 4 out of 5by Troy, 2 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, 2 years agoWorks as expected and solves the annoying fact that Dinsey+ doesn't support ultrawide monitors.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14431287, 3 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, 3 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, 3 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, 3 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, 3 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 3 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 1 out of 5by TTT YYY, 3 years agoUpdate 4/19/22: Something is wrong with the extension as it's not working. I've been using it on Youtube the last two days and regardless of whether "upscale" or "stretch" is selected the videos remain unchanged. If there was an update recently, it screwed it up.

This app functions quicker in Firefox than in Chrome. Meaning that mode changes are applied real time. Unfortunately in Chrome I always have to restart the browser. One feature I'd like added is a mode for more aspect ratios. - Rated 5 out of 5by Froggy, 3 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.
- Rated 4 out of 5by SirPoopsAlot, 3 years agoMy Oneplus 6T developed a problem after getting an update. If I'm not using YouTube then all videos are cropped in to take up the whole screen, chopping off content. This happened for whatever browser I was using, including Chrome. Getting Firefox and this add-on solved that. I guess the only thing I could ask for is being able to pinch or unpinch to change the modes (normal/upscale/stretch) or something like that. That way I don't have to open the menu to change it if I ever want to.
Edit: for those of you unable to use this, check out F-Droid and Fennec. F-Droid is an open source Android repository (think of it as a 3rd party app store for free/open source apps. Fennec is a free and open-source version of Firefox, and using Fennec you can download the specific older version of Firefox(Fennec) that allowed non recommended add-ons like this. I believe it was version 68.12.0Developer response
posted 3 years agoThank you for the review. Please explain what is F-Droid and Fennec to those Android newbies or to non-android users that might want to switch and try.
I am personally not familiar with it and I find it unfortunate that Mozilla doesn't want to select this add-on as "Recommended", so that everyone can install it on their Android devices. - Rated 1 out of 5by ciaron88, 3 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12876819, 3 years agoI use it in firefox nightly for android, so I can see youtube without cropping . 5 stars for the extension! Not so much for firefox.
