Hulu Easy Pop Out Extension

Hulu's default player is rather large, and it takes a few too many clicks to get the pop out player window, right? This extension aims to solve this problem by letting you right-click a video's thumbnail to open the popout window immediately. As an added bonus it lets you set the default width and height of the popout.

Note: It currently only works with some of the video types on Hulu, including Movies, Movie Trailers, TV Episodes, Clips, and possibly more. I've only tested this in the USA.

If you get the popup but the video doesn't load, please check your flash configuration. One of my testers reported that he had to re-enable Chrome's built-in flash plugin.
