Cyril C (ID: 0000009fd580507b) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 09/08/2023 Cool idea but has one very annoying bug. Works fine in standard mode, but when activated in cinema mode, the screen goes black and when I scroll down I can see it switched me back to standard mode, so I have to click on windowed fullscreen again to make it work.

Sam S. (ID: 000000038223f93d) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/19/2023 This one actually allows me to scroll down to the description, comments, etc. while it is toggled. It also didn't mess up Youtube's fullscreen mode, so I can still do the aforementioned scrolling. It's buttery smooth, and I love that the developer is communicating with users that have reviewed the extension. Excellent work! August 19th, 2023: As of now it has stopped working. Using this extension only toggle's Youtube's theatre mode.
