Review Summary

Users appreciate the extension's fast and convenient PiP functionality on YouTube, especially the instant PiP button integrated into the video frame, its minimal design, and better privacy features. It supports multitasking well with a resizable window and even overlays games. However, several users experience issues such as limited video controls, crashes, lack of support for some streaming platforms, movement limitations on certain devices, and presence of ads. Overall, it is favored for YouTube usage but has room for improvement in control options and stability.

Pros

  • Resizable and movable PiP window, allowing users to multitask while watching videos.
  • Works well with certain platforms and even overlays games, which some other PiP extensions do not support.

Cons

  • Lacks comprehensive video controls; primarily only Play/Pause is available.
  • Some users report crashes and functionality issues, including complete failure on certain devices or browsers.
  • Does not work on some streaming services, such as Disney+.
