It's no longer working :(
It was fantastic. RIP Jan 2023. Google has done something with Chrome so this doesn't work anymore.
No longer working
It doesn't do anything.
Best Extension ever ?
This does nothing. There are no instructions on how to change the aspect ratio and by itself it does nothing.
i tried many extensions to hide black bars on youtube videos.. nothing worked.. but this one worked perfectly.
fits for 1280x1024 laptop / monitors too
Works like a Charm it would be great if we have a option to change these options using Keyboard too
Works as described. Many thanks.
Been using this for years and it never lets me down. Excellent extension, thank you! I love being able to stretch the video to match whatever monitor size I'm on, or to remove the black bars from older videos. This works PERFECT, and has many options to choose form. Great job.
half of the options are unavailable due to the button and the pop up menu being on the far right of the player, cutting off half of the options.
The only extension that works properly for my ultrawide monitor
This is one of the best extensions of all time, been using it for a few years now and dread the day it stops working because people STILL upload stretched widescreen footage and other aspect ratio oddities, I can't do without it. I also use it to crop videos to fit my browser window (in conjunction with another extension that fits the video dimensions to your display like a psuedo-fullscreen within Chrome, a common feature in many YouTube enhancement extensions) when appropriate eg solo podcasts with a centered host, no more letterboxing!
Thankyou for your kind offering ? now I can watch badly cropped old gems.
I`m very happy found this extension. We can choose from loads of options, stretch only Width or only Height or both.. nice,nice,nice. Improvements I could imagine is that the percent of the zoom is fully editable and this extension could be supported on Netflix too.
It'd be a brilliant addition to anyone who loves movies - It doesn't work - icon remains grey and in a nut shell " out of service " . I'm using the iron browser - so it shouldn't be an issue ?
Doesnt work.
Works great. Just hope it has aspect ratio as the label like 4:3, 16:9, etc.
Doesn't give fine control, instead only shows preset options.
Really good if you have 21:9 3440 x 1440P monitors Just wished he releases a Netflix one because I haven't seen anyone which stretches the video horizontally, it's always zoom to fill in the gap.
Wow this extension is totally underrated! It's the easiest to use compared to all the other aspect ratio related extensions. Well done dev(s)!
With this Youtube Aspect Ratio Control, would the ratio controls be the same if downloading it from Youtube itself? Otherwise its a very good tool if you don't to see any watermarks on the bottom of the youtube videos.
This is great for when you are watching YouTube uploads that are squeezed or widened in an odd way, the presets are just right to fix the aspect ratio, it's not very glitchy or buggy, and works like a charm!
this deserve all the stars in galaxy
not working on fullscreen since chrome update 88.0.705.68... plz fix it asap
It's awesome super simple and help me not have black bars on YouTube
Bravo fratele meu ... tot unul de-al nostru o scoate la capat . Mersi !
very nice.
awesome
works perfectly!
makes super mario sunshine videos watchable
This is wat i was looking for. Nice to watch youtube video on full screen on my tablet.
Thanks to Andrei Felix and chrome web store for this simple yet very usefull tool, now watchin on youtube issues has solved.
What an amazing app, I looked up "add on for youtube aspect ratio" totally thinking it would be a pointless search because I've never found anything similar in the past even though I've looked for similar things several times before. Seriously I love this, I feel compelled to write this review and I literally just found this less than an hour ago. Maybe there's others like it and I look silly, but I haven't seen them before. I just wish there were an app like this for everything. Too soon to report any bugs, only criticism I have are basically just suggestions. Maybe add the ability to crop videos as well, like you can in VLC, make the list of aspect ratios tell you what they if possible, I know some of those would be pretty long and it might just work better to show it when you hover over it. Maybe use a short name for the ones that don't fit and label the rest as "16:9 > 4:3" and so on. This is fantastic though, should have been a thing a long time ago, and by youtube themselves even. It's very annoying how little control you have over how you can play videos on youtube, so I really do love this add-on.
works as advertised.
Works as advertised.
What a relief it is to watch videos properly! Thank you!
Finally rid of those black bars on the side of videos.
You're my saviour! Now I can watch those dull and distractive 2:1 "tech geeks" channel contents in full screen.
satisfy
Works beautifully. But I wish there is an option to set preferred aspect ratio permanently without having to choose preferred aspect ratio every time playing a video.
Thank you so much. People stretching 4:3 footage to widescreen 16:9 is an epidemic. One thing i'd like added is that instead of writing percentages and hiding the names of the aspect ratios on mouse hover, just list the actual changes as the buttons instead.
Works amazingly well! Just what I wished for on my 4:3 ThinkPad. THANKS THANKS!
Works well. Doesn't have keyboard shortcuts though
Amazing extension, thank you! So many uploads have been stretched out of proportion, I'm amazed this extension is not more widely known. For all the dumb extensions that don't change anything of substance... smh...
Wow Love it?? works perfectly no issue?
Works Greaaaaaaaaaat ?
Works perfectly! I totally love it!
I have a 5:4 monitor and when I play 4:3 videos I get black bars at the top and the bottom of the screen. I love that full screen feeling and it is weird that YouTube doesn't have that feature as default. Luckily, I found this extension and it solved my problem.
