UltraWideo — dvlden

👋 Introduction
Proven to be working on all major video streaming platforms. If it doesn't work for you, it could be a OS related bug. I am using macOS and before I make claims, I thoroughly test it through all major browsers.

🚀 Features
The only extension on the market with functionalities that no other extension in this category possess.


▸ Blazingly fast — injection script that manipulates the video is written in plain JavaScript, has tiny footprint and is very fast.
▸ Limitless platforms — not limited to any specific video streaming platform. Aims to work everywhere, including embeddable videos.
▸ Minimal interface — thoughtful design that doesn't get in your way, but provides you with all the necessary options to get the experience you deserve.
▸ Appearance — automatically applies the appearance that you are using as your system preference. If your system is in dark mode, the extension will be too.
▸ Cross-browser — available for all major browsers and tested on Chrome & Firefox. It works in all Chromium based browsers as well.
▸ Internationalization — supports handful of languages, but aiming to support all major languages with the help of the community.
▸ Keyboard shortcuts — customizable within the browser to avoid conflicts with other extensions. Support for activity and mode toggling.
▸ Magic touch — Toggle between modes with built-in pinch inwards/outwards on touch screens, trackpads with multi-touch gestures and mouse wheel while holding CTRL key.

🧠 Purpose
Gain power over the video in fullscreen mode. Primarily developed for 34" ultra-wide screens, but powerful for other smaller or larger screens too. I am currently using it on my Macbook Pro 14" to get rid of all black bars (horizontally and vertically), previously I used it on ultra-wide monitor.

🙋‍♂️ Usage
Relatively easy to use, but powerful at its core. Comes with handful of options within small interface and keyboard shortcuts.

▸ Interface – Popup interface that you usually open by clicking on the extension icon, has built-in shortcut to toggle it for an easy access at your fingertips.
▸ Activity – This option will be enabled by default. To deactivate the features it applies to the video element, toggle the switch.
▸ Mode – Upscale mode will be enabled by default and only one mode can be active at a time.
▸ Scale – It works simultaneously with the active mode and can scale the video up or down. The default value is 1 and it means that no scaling will be applied.

🤞 Claims
It is working on all globally popular video streaming platforms. Including all embeddable videos. It will not work on platforms that have custom video element, which is super rare.
