    Does what it says on the tin. Really convenient and easy to configure. Also can make videos smaller which comes in handy for the low bitrate for 1080p on YouTube.

    Appreciate the brief review, Problematist.
    That is completely true. I guess I should mention that somewhere on the web page.

    Thank you for using it!

    One of those extensions that you forget you even have installed, because it really should just be how things work. Then you go to another browser and enter Letterbox Hell™️ before remembering how dang useful it is.

    Thank 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:

    The link contains images to original video, opera rgx mode and ultrawideo's future sharpening mode.

    Some trash megacorps like "Bally" or Paramount or countless others slap bars or trash interfaces meant to work for ads onto streaming and call it a day. 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.

    Hey 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!

    Doesn't work on Disney+. Was open source, went closed source.

    I 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.

    UltraWideo 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.

    UltraWideo rocks! It effortlessly banishes black bars on Netflix giving me a full-screen video feast. Love it!
