Although named for YouTube, this extension works on many HTML5 video players, including RedGifs.

Result: Zero buttons, zero bars, zero overlays. Just the raw video floating on the page. To control pause/play, use your spacebar or click directly on the video. To adjust volume, use your system volume mixer or browser tab volume.

Pro tip: Try tapping the F key on your keyboard for fullscreen, then click the hide UI button. You are now in what I call "The Phantom Zone." redgifs hide ui

Review: "This extension is exactly what I was looking for. It does one simple thing and it does it perfectly—removing all the clutter from the RedGifs interface. No more distracting sidebars, recommended sections, or oversized headers. It allows you to focus entirely on the content without the visual noise.
The toggle feature is a nice touch, letting me bring the UI back instantly if I need to search for something specific or check the comments. It feels lightweight and hasn't caused any lag or buffering issues. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a minimalistic, distraction-free browsing experience."
Let’s be honest. We’ve all been there. Result: Zero buttons, zero bars, zero overlays
You find the perfect clip. The lighting is cinematic, the loop is seamless, and the subject is exactly what you were looking for. You hit play, lean back... and then it happens.
A giant progress bar is eating up the bottom third of the screen. A glowing volume icon is burned into the top corner. A play/pause ghost button is hovering right over the action.
You aren't watching the content. You're watching the interface.
Enter the most underrated shortcut in modern web design: The RedGIFs "Hide UI" feature.
If the UI flickers or refuses to fade, your GPU drivers may conflict.
