WHAT IT DOES:
Universal Video Maximizer is a free and open source Chrome extension that allows users to watch videos in full-browser-window mode on most websites, without the extension requiring full permissions to every site. It also has a "theater mode" that removes the navigation bar and other UI elements for a undistracted viewing experience.
✔ Working great since 2013
✔ Dark themed theater mode
✔ Secure and private!
✔ Great for ultrawide monitors
✔ Free and open source
✔ Control playback speed on most sites (Prime, HBO, Apple, etc)
This extension is FREE and done as a hobby.

- Nick Tobolski
- Perfect for me once I removed the speed controls under "Enable ADVANCED features (Experimental)". Thanks so much for the great extension!!
- BravGo
- When Maximizer is turned off after turned on, playback speed of the video resets when I go back 5 seconds. Forces me to increase playback speed again. Very annoying bug.
- Burak Köseoğlu
- Works Great!! Hard to find though.
- Preston Holda
- Exactly what I was looking for!

- awesome!!!
- bonardi gb
- This extension has been a godsend for fast forwarding and rewinding Instagram reels and any other embedded videos that hide controls or automatically restart from the beginning if you refresh the page.
- Switcha Roo
- I would say 5 stars except it cant play the next video in a playlist on youtube, you have to manually exit it, and click the next video, then re-enter max size. It'd be nice if it automatically went to next video and entered full screen again. Maximize video does this, except it doesnt work on this pc.

- just works
- Javier Ramos
- I had to come back and give this extension 5/5, it was exactly what I needed and use it everyday with no issues.

- great !!!! save some stupid web like hXX
- Kevin Verm
- I installed 4 or 5 extensions that all had some sort of problem until I finally found this one. Video Maximizer has worked great for me so far. Recommend. Appreciate that the dev is actively maintaining. Thank you.

- Someone told me about this extension, but it was hard to find. Searching for it in the chrome store showed some other Chinese extension. Glad I got this one. This extension works **great** for putting videos in theater mode without taking up my whole screen. The playback controls are a dream. I love being able to watch videos at 1.25x on Amazon, Hulu and all the other sites that don't support speeding up playback.

- Finally, something that works with Ultra Wide monitors (Like the SAMSUNG 49” Odyssey G9 Gaming Monitor) Thanks! :)

- Can't I use the previous version? The latest version is so critical that a permission pop-up window appears for each new site and an error occurs in the YouTube play bar.

- I've been looking for something like this for my class videos, it's easy to use and the image is so CRISP. Far better than just trying to zoom in!

- You NEED this if you have an ultrawide screen and like to watch videos windowed and not fullscreen. This is exactly what I was looking for. It will maximize the video to the borders of the window, no weirdness, it just works.

- Perfecto en este si van los subtítulos, las otras extensiones te meten un reproductor básico, pero esta lo mantiene igual :)
- Darren Knight
- I wanted an extension that enables me to increase the size of video players on gambling sites so I can watch the free broadcasts on something larger than a postage stamp sized screen. I want no more. UVM gives me exactly what I need. Top marks!

- Is this a joke? When you use regular fullscreen mode on YouTube, you can still scroll. With this, you can't. You actually lose functionality with no significant benefit.
