Does not do anything.

Too disruptive. The design needs to be revised. It pops up in your face too often when all you need is a "full-screen". Maybe this is a bug. I'm not sure, but each time I switch to fullscreen, it would pop up and refuse to go away. then I start navigating the same page without changing fullscreen mode, and it suddenly pops up again! If the developers were intentionally trying to make it annoying, I don't think they would do it this perfectly.

Utter garbage. Falsely claims to have a whole lot of features that seem to have been silently removed.

Overall, it’s very difficult to display the tab bar in fullscreen mode on Chrome for Windows. I really appreciate that you developed this extension. However, at the moment the extension is quite hard to use. Would it be possible to add a feature where moving the mouse to the top automatically shows the tab bar, and moving it away automatically hides it? I also hope the tabs can behave like Chrome’s native tabs β€” resizing automatically when there are many. Currently, the extension only displays a few tabs at once, and the rest are hidden, which makes it inefficient. I recommend you try Chrome fullscreen mode on macOS β€” the interaction there feels really smooth. Thank you!
