This seems like a massive feature that I can't believe hasn't been baked into Chrome yet. I know Safari has an implementation but it always feels limited and of course cannot be used on Windows or Linux. I need to put this through its paces, but it may vault Firefox back into the role of my default browser.
This is a nice feature. > play alongside while you go about your business on > other tabs or do things outside of Firefox. Do we need to watch video while we go about our business? You better finish your business or the video. Which leaves me thinking: this is kind of bloat.
And this is why HN should't have implemented angry-vote.

This is normally a window manager feature, why put it in browser where it's limited to browser tabs?
The PIP video is independent of the browser window that contained the video -- it can be moved around the desktop and resized with no window decorations and also stays on top of all other windows in the desktop env.

It is a little clunky and could use a good deal of polish. For example, you can only PiP one video, and controls remain in the tab with the video frame. PiP only gives you play/pause, no scrubbing or anything from the embedded player. The always on top is a feature for some, but can be a hindrance, too. That behavior should be a toggle for the user so they can use their tools how they like.
These are a few of the reasons I've continued to use the "Open With" extension with mpv. ([right-click]->Open With->mpv) This provides full playback control, lets me toggle stay-on-top, etc. Firefox's PiP is a nice thought but just isn't right for me as currently implemented.

Chrome has it for about two years now, since ver. 70. On a Youtube video right-click twice and click "Picture in picture".
But there is a PiP button in the "hamburger with musical note" menu in the toolbar.
It seems Google has an optional PiP Chrome extension as well. It looks like it just makes the button more visible.

Sorry, which extension is this? The only one I was able to find named "Open With" is pretty clearly not what you were referring to.
It's too bad that YouTube subtitles still show up in the main YT page and is not present in the PiP modal.
I love PiP but I wish it worked for multiple videos simultaneously on desktop.
