Review Summary
UltraWideo is highly praised for its ability to remove black bars and improve video playback on ultrawide and unusual aspect ratio screens across many streaming sites and devices. Users appreciate the stable functionality, especially on Windows platforms and mobile YouTube. However, recent updates have caused playback stutters, fullscreen mode failures, and removal of popular features, frustrating long-time users. Some experience payment issues and sporadic video blocking problems post-update. Despite cons related to recent changes, the extension remains a must-have for widescreen users seeking optimal video scaling.

- Generally stable and reliable for many users with a long history of positive usage on multiple platforms including Windows 10 Pro.
- Supports various streaming platforms such as YouTube, HBO, Twitch, improving video display across these services.
Cons
- Recent updates introduced playback stutters and performance issues, negatively impacting user experience.
- The extension’s fullscreen mode functionality broke after updates, causing inconvenience for users who previously relied on full scaling.
- Removal of a previous ambient light feature upset some users who felt features were given and then taken away, even if paid.
- Payment issues via PayPal observed by some users, possibly regional, impacting ability to support or upgrade to premium versions.
