UltraWideo for Chrome

Full-screen video aspect ratio is not a big problem for most users since most video streaming/sharing platforms and modern browsers do a good job of taking care of this particular issue.

UltraWideo for Chrome is an interesting and potentially useful extension that provides you with a lot more power and control when it comes to manipulating the video aspect ration of various videos in full-screen mode.

UltraWideo is not the only extension on the market that offers this functionality, but what makes it stand out from the competition is the fact that it works on all video streaming platforms, as well as on all embedded videos you might come across.

Before everything else, it's worth pointing out that the extension is primarily designed for ultra-wide monitors. However, this doesn't mean that it doesn't work on more typical monitors as well.

It provides you with the option to manipulate the video's size in those situations where the video has horizontal or vertical black spaces. Its main goal is to improve your viewing experience by making videos perfectly fit your entire screen.

The extension lives in Chrome's toolbar, just like most other tools for this sort. The compact yet modern GUI allows you to pause the extension as well as to toggle between three, self-explanatory modes: Normal, Upscale, and Stretch.

You can also set desired keyboard shortcuts for switching the extension on or off, as well as for switching between modes.

Taking everything into account, UltraWideo for Chrome is a very useful extension that provides a simple way of improving one's viewing experience. It's easy to operate, very lightweight, and it works with basically all video streaming platforms, including some that are subscription-based.
