Gnome Shell full screen compositing

Hello, I did some research but didn't find any answer how to turn on compositing of fullscreen windows. It is necesarry to avoid tearing.

Some answer is to use Intel tear-free option but some people belive that this option has more impact to performance(however i do not play any games-just movies, youtube and web). What is the best solution?

Re: Gnome Shell full screen compositing

This is a few months old, but probably heplful to others:
This is only possible with an extension. Lucky you I wrote an extension just for this:

The terminology in the description is not always correct, but it works.
