Gary Goodger (ID: 0000006eb03a2d8b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/26/2020 So simple and perfect for what I needed. The review that says this doesn't work needs to look again... Works perfect.

Mario Chapa (ID: 000000110018c481) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/03/2019 How come this is not a built-in feature? My main browser is Vivaldi, but I have to use chrome for web meetings and using google docs and slides. Vivaldi has this feature as a built-in but for Chrome I was at a loss with LAME presentations and that 20% screen real state steal from the freaking tabs and address bar. Thank you Tim Wickstrom for this extension. Works as advertised.
