Funimation Better Lights Off
The Funimation Better Lights Off extension is a Chrome add-on developed by tim.wu.0. It is a free program that falls under the Browsers category, specifically the Add-ons & Tools subcategory. The extension aims to enhance the Funimation player by addressing some of its weaknesses.
The Funimation player often fails to utilize the full screen real-estate, as it does not adjust its width according to the window size. Additionally, the lights-off mode still displays distracting elements in the background. This extension tackles these issues by implementing a couple of hacks. It uses user agent spoofing to enable the use of the HTML5 player and modifies the video play/pause signals to achieve the following:
- Resizes the video width to match the window width while maintaining the aspect ratio, utilizing the capabilities of the element.
- Hides the watermark.
- Removes all elements except the video and controls during playback.
- Vertically centers the video during playback.
For a visual representation of the improvements, refer to the provided screenshots showcasing the before and after effects of the extension.
