Description

Chromium based browsers upport picture-in-picture and there is a JavaScript API which allows websites to leverage this capability. Unfortunately many websites don't so users are left to using browser Windows and OS level windowing management to re-produce this capability.

PIPvideo does exactly what you imagine it does. It finds the video elements on the page and adds a little icon in the top left hand corner that when clicked it will open the video leveraging this API and the PIP technology built into Chromium.

In order to ensure that the extension doesn't have any negative performance implications you have to click the extension button for it to add the icon to the videos. I've successfully tested it on:

* YouTube
* NFL Gamepass
* Disney Plus
* Netflix
* CNN
* ESPN
* Twitch
* Mixer

Notice: Some websites modify the DOM numerous times and because of this some sites do not currently work in the current design. Here are some that I have found that do not:

* Polygon
* Hulu
* NBA.com
* Hotstar

What has inspired us?

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
