User reviews

Users find the Picture in Picture extension useful, simple, and reliable for watching videos while multitasking, praising its performance and ease of use. However, several reviews mention missing video controls in the PiP window, icon visibility problems (especially in dark mode), lack of hotkeys, and some site or OS compatibility issues. Suggestions include adding more controls, improving icon design, saving window settings, and supporting more platforms for an enhanced experience.

Pros

Works well and does what it promises, providing a useful picture-in-picture video player.
Simple and easy to use with reliable performance across various sites and screens.
Very helpful for multitasking, allowing users to watch videos while working or browsing other content.
Users appreciate the developer's work and find the extension superior to similar tools.
Keeps videos playing flawlessly and is considered a valuable productivity and entertainment tool.

Cons

Lacks advanced controls like forward, rewind, and volume adjustment on the PiP window, which are shown in previews but missing during use.
Icon visibility issues, especially in dark mode, making it hard to locate.
No options to save the position and size of the PiP window for later use.
Partial incompatibility or non-functionality on some platforms and websites (e.g., Windows 11, specific sites like DAZN).
Absence of hotkeys or shortcuts for quick access and control limits usability.

A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Picture in Picture - floating video player requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
