YouTube windowed fullscreen

About

Have you ever wanted to enjoy the immersive full-screen experience of YouTube while still being able to conveniently switch between browser tabs or access the system taskbar? Native full-screen hides everything, making multitasking cumbersome; theater mode, on the other hand, lacks clarity and retains numerous distractions. To address this pain point, we've introduced the new "windowed fullscreen" viewing mode. It lets the video player fill the entire browser window, hiding all irrelevant content while preserving the top tabs and bottom taskbar, offering the best balance of immersion and convenience. ✨ Core Features

One-click Focus Mode
With a single click, instantly hide all distracting elements from the YouTube page—including the navigation and search bar at the top, the title, description, comments section, and recommended videos below the video—leaving only the video content.

Seamless Multitasking
Unlike native full-screen, your browser tabs are always visible. Easily switch to other tabs while watching a video to check resources, respond to messages, or get work done, without having to constantly exit full-screen. 

Ultimate Screen Space Utilization
The video expands to every corner of the browser window, achieving 100% viewport utilization. This delivers a visual impact far beyond standard theater mode and is especially impressive for users on widescreen monitors. 

Smart Theme Adaptation
The extension's pop-up automatically detects whether YouTube is currently using light or dark mode and adapts the UI accordingly, ensuring a unified and harmonious overall visual experience. 

Simple and elegant, ready to use right out of the box
No complicated settings, just a clear on/off switch. It intelligently determines whether the current page is a YouTube video and disables buttons on non-relevant pages to prevent accidental clicks. 

🎯 Ideal for

Multitaskers: Those who need to watch tutorials, online classes, or live streams while working in other apps or tabs (such as coding, designing, or taking notes). 

Efficiency seekers: Those who want to quickly jump between videos or look up information while watching and are tired of repeatedly pressing the Escape key. 

Immersive experience enthusiasts: When watching movies, documentaries, or music videos, they want a pure, uninterrupted viewing environment.
