Description

Maximize YouTube videos to fill the browser window without triggering OS-level fullscreen. YouTube Windowed Fullscreen lets you maximize YouTube videos to fill your entire browser window or tab without triggering OS-level fullscreen. Enjoy the immersive feel of full-screen video while keeping your browser tabs, bookmarks bar, and OS desktop panels fully accessible. Perfect for multitasking on wide monitors and tiling window managers (Hyprland, i3, Sway). Key Features: - 🎬 Dedicated Control Bar Button: Seamlessly embedded directly inside YouTube's player controls, right next to the Theater and Fullscreen buttons. - ⌨️ Instant Keyboard Shortcut (W): Press 'W' on any video to toggle in and out of windowed fullscreen immediately. - 🛡️ Smart Keystroke Detection: The shortcut automatically ignores inputs when you are typing in the search bar, comment box, or live chat. - ⎋ Escape to Exit: Press ESC anytime to return to standard view. - 📐 Aspect Ratio Preservation: Uses clean letterboxing so your video never distorts, crops, or stretches. - 🎛️ Full Control Bar Access: YouTube's progress bar, volume controls, subtitle settings, and quality menu stay fully interactive on hover. - 🚀 SPA Navigation Ready: Persists smoothly across YouTube's dynamic page transitions without needing page reloads. - ⚙️ Customizable Popup: Configure your preferred shortcut key, toggle auto-windowed mode on video pages, or enable double-click to toggle. - 🔒 100% Private & Open Source: No tracking, no external server calls, no telemetry.
