Restores scroll functionality to YouTube fullscreen mode by preventing the player from taking over.
This extension fixes a problem where YouTube's fullscreen mode stops you from scrolling through comments and related videos. What it does: Adds the ability to fullscreen scroll again. How to use: Install the extension Go to YouTube Watch videos in fullscreen mode, press the full screen button or press 'f' You can now scroll normally through comments. Please report any issues on the github page, or contact via email. I will not see all reviews or know if there is an issue if you say in the reviews, please use github or email me. - v1.0.89 * Added logic to toggle YouTube's theatre mode when activating or deactivating fullscreen emulation, ensuring consistent video layout. * Known Issues: Giant black area below video (will be fixed soon but not that really site breaking), - v1.0.81 * Updates the 'f' key handler to avoid interfering when typing and refactors scroll mode toggling to a single function call. YouTube stole the 'f' key again, this should fix that issue. - v1.0.80 * Refines the behavior for toggling scroll mode using the F key: always allows exiting scroll mode, and only enters scroll mode if not in a typing context. - v1.0.75 * Introduces a debug mode (enabled via URL param) with logging, metrics collection, and a 'Save Log' button for diagnostics. Refactors and enhances fullscreen control bar scaling and style restoration, ensuring better compatibility and maintainability. * Refines the logic for applying control adjustments by introducing synthetic resize scheduling and flags to prevent redundant resize events. This helps avoid unnecessary reflows and ensures more reliable UI updates. * Introduces a double-click event handler on YouTube video elements to toggle scroll mode, improving usability in fullscreen. Also updates window state handling in background.js. - v1.0.59 * Adds padding to the Related Videos, Comments, and Info Section * Fixes weirdness on the short's player * Fixes white border on the video player * Adds the related video section back * Video player stays full when clicking video links, will exit fullscreen mode when leaving a video. - v1.0.31 - Eliminated several background-color: #000 rules from fullscreen-related CSS in content.js to allow for more flexible theming and compatibility. - v1.0.29 - Restores original functionality - v1.0.13 - Attempts to bring back what youtube destroyed. It's a duct tape solution, but will improve. Please give me time. - v1.0.9, nothing new added except some console debug info to help identify future issues.
