Fullscreen Anything Extension

Fullscreen Anything makes anything fill up your browser window at the click of a button!

This enables:
- Fullscreen Images
- Fullscreen Video
- Fullscreen Games

Plus:
- Advertisements are hidden
- Works well with multi-monitor setups

Simply click the Fullscreen Anything button (or press Ctrl+Space) to make anything that's currently on your screen fill the browser window. Press again to undo and continue browsing.

As Fullscreen Anything makes content fill the browser window, rather than the whole screen, you can quickly browse to different tabs while a video continues playing in fullscreen mode. Ideal for multi-tasking!

Most videos and games will continue playing seamlessly when maximized. Special care has been taken to ensure perfect compatibility with major video websites and social networks. Support for Youtube includes playlists, html5 video, and auto-HD on maximize.


* Note to TabCinema users: Fullscreen Anything replaces TabCinema, and is better in every way. Should you miss a feature in this new release, feel free to ask on the Feedback page!

Gabriel Blacklock (ID: 0000007cfc270910) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/05/2023 Doesn't work at all. I click the icon and it does nothing

Ibrahim Halici (ID: 000000d5ffd955af) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/26/2023 exactly what I wanted.

Kreb Gurfson (ID: 0000001f36589910) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 10/15/2023 Doesn't scale video to the window size. Still useful just not nearly as good as it should be.

Leeloo Marchese (ID: 000000c5c45dcd83) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/08/2023 Absolutely does not do what I expected it to. Ctrl+Space does nothing on most websites. I have to have multiple windows open and to be "full screen" within each of those individual windows. This app does not let you do that. KINDA works for videos (kind of, doesn't seem consistent).

NC Lau (The Mister Lau) (ID: 000000e24493f959) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/26/2023 Exactly what I want. It works on non-Youtube video sites too so I can have full-window size display of these videos. Thanks.
