- Rated 5 out of 5by UnKnown, 'n jaar geledeHey, this works with Viki and widescreen monitor! Thanks so much!
- Rated 3 out of 5by Hoi Polloi, 'n jaar geledeNot great. It just zooms in, doesn't really fix the aspect ratio and doesn't work with a 32:9 monitor. Crops everything on top and bottom with wider monitors. Can see it working well with 21:9 ones though. Giving it 3 stars because I can see it working for most peoples' monitors.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Sonic500, 'n jaar geledeDoes the job and gets rid of those black bars! You lose a bit of image from setting it to your aspect ratio and stretch makes things a little fat but this is only noticeable on my 21:9. It's a good add-on that I like and can change through the settings. Thanks!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Thorathal, 'n jaar geledeThe player needs a button that skips 1:30 sec ahead, for all the anime lovers out there! Upvote!

- Rated 5 out of 5by supermelon, 2 jaar geledeall works as expected. If there's anything I miss it would be the additional button in youtube controls that switches on/off the zooming (something like extended youtube UI of Enhancer for YT)

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16795325, 2 jaar geledeFirst it didn't work at all. Then I checked a link the dev posted as reaction to a 4-star-review and added "--disable-direct-composition-video-overlays" to firefox-command in terminal (using Linux). Works like a charm now. Thanks!
Edit: stopped working again after switching to another tab. hmm...
Edit2: Figured it out, it only works in actual fullscreen, not F11. Then even without the added line. Dumb me ^^ - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17538600, 2 jaar gelede
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15196838, 2 jaar geledeDoesn't support my 5120x1440 monitor. If it did, it'd be perfect, but as of now I can't use it. A bug was filed and closed by the author, so if you have a supported resolution you'll probably love this extension, but if you don't it will crop the top and bottom of videos in upscale mode :(
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 16831704, 2 jaar geledeWhen it works, its great! But lately Ive had trouble with 4:3 videos (or anything less then 16:9), and randomly it disables its self, or changes what mode its in.
Developer response
posted 2 jaar geledeYou may want to try reloading tabs that were open before the extension was installed.
I can confirm it works everywhere.- Rated 5 out of 5by stef, 2 jaar gelede

- Rated 5 out of 5by NatT96, 2 jaar geledeThis doesn't work at all on Hulu sadly, needs an update for the latest firefox version and testing with multiple streaming platforms as well.
UPDATE: It works! Just had to refresh webpage after installation. - Rated 5 out of 5by Viking, 2 jaar geledeReal easy to use, works like a charm. Weird that Disney doesn't fix this themselves.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Jordan, 2 jaar geledeDoes what it is written, but it just suddenly stopped working after the new FF update.
Edit: Thanks for the response, Dev. I am using Windows 11 21H2, FF 99.0.1 (64bit) I tried clean uninstall and reinstalling firefox, didnt work.Developer response
posted 2 jaar geledeWhich FF version are you refering to and which device and OS?
I am on macOS Monterey v12.2.1 and FireFox v100.0b9 (64-bit) and it still works as it did in the past.
EDIT:
Could you please follow this guide from the discussion board? It used to be the Chrome only issue (on Windows), but maybe it is now FF too.
https://github.com/dvlden/ultrawideo/discussions/62 - Rated 3 out of 5by Ayrell, 2 jaar geledeDoes 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 2 jaar geledeWhen 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, 2 jaar geledeI 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.
