Known issues & limitations

There are a few known limitations this extension has, as well as bugs.

Basic usability

  • Currently, this extension is only tested on Youtube and Netflix. It should work on other sites as well, but you'll need to manually enable extension on other sites via the popup.
  • It's unclear how extension handles sites displaying multiple videos per site. Having multiple videos on the same page is a very tricky case that hasn't been given much thought.

Automatic detection

  • Autodetection is a very hard problem to solve. Despite various improvements, it's still not 100% correct. In cases where aspect ratio is hard to determine, extension tends to err on the side of caution and tries to avoid changing aspect ratios. However, sometimes aspect ratio changes will still trigger too eagerly.
  • Due to browser limitations, automatic aspect ratio detection on DRM protected sites only works in Firefox
  • Setting autodetection to be more frequent than it already is may result in insane RAM usage for no good reason.

Edge specific limitations

  • Edge is broken as fuck, to the point certain very crucial storage APIs don't work properly in Edge.
  • I'm not paying Micro$oft 15€ for the privilege of developing shit for their broken-ass browser. This means you have to side-load the extension and manually re-enable it every time you launch Edge.
  • The extension may be released later down the line, when Chromium edge becomes an actual thing
