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.

- awesome!!!

- 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.

- 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

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

- 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.

- This was the only app I could find that did what I needed it to do for streaming stuff to my friends. I just wanted to make the video fullscreen in the tab - why does every other extension have to make it so complicated? However, I'm migrating to firefox after finding out that chrome is basically destroying extensions next year to stop adblockers nd I was wondering if you had this over there; a search doesn't show anything, and I'd love to keep it in my migration.
