Was great. But is broken as of now, does not remove any header and resizes nothing, AFAICS. So needs to be updated, to become that great plugin it was.

Steve Kiehl August 23rd, 2021

This has been great, but as of Chrome 92.0.4515, this breaks vertical scroll.

Works great, sadly I'm not allowed to use Chrome at work.... Can't believe Atlassian doesn't already have a fix for this.
