Opera users and users of the new, Chromium-based Edge can install Ultrawidify from Chrome Web Store as well. Users of beta and developer branches of Opera can find Ultrawidify on Opera store as well, but given Opera's review process is unacceptably slow (awaiting moderator review since 2020-03-15) not only am I not going to maintain Opera store presence, Opera users are advised to use Chrome version of the extension in order to avoid waiting years for new features to be approved by Opera moderators.

The technology has been here for a while, but plenty of people don't know how to properly encode a video (despite the fact [youtube has an article that explains aspect ratios](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6375112)). Plenty of people surprisingly includes major Holywood studios, such as [Marvel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ke1Y3P9D0Bc), [Disney](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCOPJi0Urq4), [Dreamworks](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKiYuIsPxYk), [Warner Brothers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYZ3U1inHA4), [Sony](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BWWWQzTpNU), et cetera.

# Microsoft Edge
With the advent of the new Chromium-based Edge, this extension should work just fine. I don't actively test in Edge, though, so your mileage may vary.
## Chromium-based
1. Visit [edge://extensions](edge://extensions/)
2. Go to [Chrome Web Store](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ultrawidify/dndehlekllfkaijdlokmmicgnlanfjbi)
3. Click 'Allow extensions from other stores' on the blue popup bar at the top of the screen
4. Install Ultrawidify
5. Enjoy
I might reconsider publishing extension for Chromium-based Microsoft Edge once it's released. Releasing in MS Store appears to be impossible at current time as extension submissions don't appear to be open at all (unless you got a special invite or something).
## Old Edge
1. Get [Chromium-based Edge](https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/)
2. See steps above
