Window Expander For YouTube Extension

The Window Expander for YouTube maximizes YouTube videos in the web browser eliminating all white space and other texts. This is different then the fullscreen button in that it does not change the size of the actual browser window, it just fills the window with video. This is particularly useful for multiple monitor setups.

Version 2.3 adds support for HTML5. Note, the features such as setting resolution currently do not work with HTML5 videos; however, expanding and minimizing does work.

Version 2.2 removes a popup when the resolution of the video could not be found. Its a result of my debugging a previous problem.

Version 2.1 added support for https.

Version 2.0 fixed the quality not being set properly on expanded windows bug.

Version 1.7 new features: you can now set a preferred quality level for YouTube Videos. The options include small, medium, large, 720p, and 1080p.

Simon Paterson (ID: 00000010ab92ad8d) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/06/2018 Was great until i noticed the adverts popping up when pausing videos. Location of the banner makes it inconvenient

Jacob Hamilton (ID: 000000a2c0bbbdcf) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/06/2018 Was looking for a way to resize youtube so i could have reference videos playing in a corner while working with several other files. This essentially turns the youtube tab into a screen with no white space, which gets it done for me.

Ian (ID: 00000075a4bf5d69) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/16/2017 Expands the video by the height making videos cut off at the sides in a square window.

Andreas Alteweyer (ID: 000000b24502f716) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/11/2017 Klappt ganz Gut nur Beenden kann man den Expander nicht mehr. Null Reaktion eine App die nur Halb Funktioniert kann ich Leider nicht Brauchen. Man Sollte das Vollbild auch wieder Schließen können aber nix geht hier. Weder ESC noch sonst etwas. Unbrauchbar
