For the life of me I can't see why anyone would need picture in picture for browsers. More features most people don't need. Please come down to earth Mozilla. You have lost your way. Please revisit NCSA Mosaic and witness your roots.

I use PiP for various videos, whilst I’m working and not splitting the screen.

I find it quite handy when browsing YouTube. I even thought it was a YouTube feature before I realised it didn't work in chrome.

A comment on reddit said they use it all the time when following coding tutorials. Seems like a handy use case.

I use picture in picture all the time! I have 3 monitors, but still not enough spave to take a full one up with a browser. So if I've got a YouTube video playing I'll pop it out and stick it in a corner of one.

Is there a way to disable PIP support? The blue floating icon is quite distracting for me, I wouldn’t mind PIP but I can’t stand the floating icon.
