Changes fullscreen buttons so they will put a window around the fullscreen app. This allows you to put a Youtube video about a subject next to the paper you a writing or watch a series on Netflix while chatting. This extension will not reload the video you are watching, nor use some custom controls: it puts the website in it's own fullscreen mode.
It will present you with a small menu when you click fullscreen, so you can choose to go fullscreen or windowed.
Confirmed to work (and yes, I put them here in the hopes people searching for these websites will get here):
- Youtube
- Embedded youtube even
- Netflix
- Twitch
- Voot . com
- Vimeo
- NFL Gamepass
- Internet Archive
- Facebook
- Most other websites...
Does not work on
- Flash videos (these are outside of the scope of browser extensions, I tried really hard)
- Videos with native html controls (as they use native fullscreen, not javascript fullscreen)
It is possible there are websites where this does not work, even though they are not flash. If you happen to find one, please let me know! :)
