Review Summary
Many users report that Black Bars Begone often does not work or is broken, causing videos to go black or leaving black bars untouched, especially on YouTube and Netflix. Some find it effective in reducing black bars on ultra-wide monitors, though it may crop video content undesirably. Occasional users experienced it working temporarily before failing. Overall, the extension's inconsistent performance and limited customization options detract from its usefulness.
Pros
- Effectively removes most black bars on certain videos, particularly useful for ultra-wide screens (2560x1080).
- Simple toggle function via the extension icon.
- Some users report it worked for a period before stopping.
- Works well for Netflix according to one user.
- Provides video cropping options to fill screen, though limited.
Cons
- Frequently reported as not working or broken, with videos sometimes going black.
- Inconsistent effectiveness across platforms like YouTube and Netflix.
- May crop parts of the video picture undesirably when attempting to fill screen.
- Only partially removes black bars, leaving some margins even on ultra-wide displays.
- Stopped functioning after a short time for some users.
