- This Full Screen Tabs extension is really practical! It makes switching tabs to full screen super convenient, reducing distractions during regular browsing. However, I've recently run into a small issue on Windows 10/11: On certain websites (like the Notepad++ official page https://notepad-plus-plus.org & https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/), only the top content loads, and the rest turns into a blank white screen. Pressing F5 hard refreshes shows the full page temporarily, but it quickly goes white again. The problem disappears after disabling the extension—feels like a rendering conflict. Hope the developer can look into it, thanks!

- the best love it thx

- Too disruptive. The design needs to be revised. It pops up in your face too often when all you need is a "full-screen". Maybe this is a bug. I'm not sure, but each time I switch to fullscreen, it would pop up and refuse to go away. then I start navigating the same page without changing fullscreen mode, and it suddenly pops up again! If the developers were intentionally trying to make it annoying, I don't think they would do it this perfectly.

- Great extension overall! This is a solid tool that enhances my browsing experience. However, I'd love to see these features added in future updates: - Option to hide the address bar for a cleaner, more immersive view. - Adaptive sizing based on webpage zoom levels to maintain consistent proportions across different sites.

- Overall, it’s very difficult to display the tab bar in fullscreen mode on Chrome for Windows. I really appreciate that you developed this extension. However, at the moment the extension is quite hard to use. Would it be possible to add a feature where moving the mouse to the top automatically shows the tab bar, and moving it away automatically hides it? I also hope the tabs can behave like Chrome’s native tabs — resizing automatically when there are many. Currently, the extension only displays a few tabs at once, and the rest are hidden, which makes it inefficient. I recommend you try Chrome fullscreen mode on macOS — the interaction there feels really smooth. Thank you!

- Utter garbage. Falsely claims to have a whole lot of features that seem to have been silently removed.

- Great stuff, like others I am very surprised this isn't a feature for chrome by default. For the life of me I cannot find "settings" or a toggle to change the theme to dark mode. Thank you!

- An great option if you want to take extra care of your OLED screen. I have a suggestion, which is to have a option that work the windows auto hide. keep everything like the normal just it would auto hide and it show when I use get close to the top or use the same short cut.
