Maximize Flash Extension

Log feature requests and issues at https://github.com/glajchs/maximize-flash-chrome/issues

- Maximized videos after that stick around after page navigation (youtube) can now be restored by clicking on the maximize/restore icon.

- Update to the latest jquery.important plugin.

Denis Tyscenko (ID: 0000003ceb667c9d) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 07/10/2022 in general it works, but in my case I tried to maximize the html5-video player, and when I clicked the extension button, after the opening in full-window the video covered the controls of the player, instead of appearing just in the bottom of the screen as usual and as others similar extensions does. So that mean I cant control the video but I can see the control panel, maybe you need to or remove it completely or save the option to control it ?

james roberts (ID: 000000a6f446a246) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/09/2018 Brakes some sites but only in a good way>= To many sites block your control of how you watch their content and this add-don fixes some of that. only wish for it is to add "pan and zoom"..

Pedro Heringer (ID: 000000dc67a9f797) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 05/03/2018 Maximiza todo torto na janela. Se você coloca fullscreen e volta ele fica partido. E os controles não aparecem direito...
