Tube Scale Extension

Similar to theater mode, but better! Make the YouTube player fill the browser window.

When active, it removes the header bar and assures that if you are scrolled to the top of the screen, you will have nothing but video content in your browser window.

Save yourself the trouble of going \"full\" full-screen so you can easily navigate between tabs and other programs with ease!

This is an open source project. If you have ideas on how to make it better, become a contributor!
