Review Summary
Users appreciate Always Video ᴴᴷ for automating Picture-in-Picture mode when switching tabs, especially on YouTube. However, it often struggles with reliability, failing to activate or retain PiP consistently without manual refresh or browser restart. Users report bugs with controls and desire more customization options such as triggers, UI enhancements, and site filtering. Despite its usefulness, the extension currently requires improvements in stability and features to meet expectations.
Pros
- Automates Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode when switching tabs, enhancing video watching experience.
- Works well with YouTube, especially in theater mode.
- Simple and effective solution for PiP automation compared to default Chrome behavior.
- Generally appreciated feature to automatically activate PiP when switching tabs.
- Helpful for users wanting automatic PiP without manual activation.
Cons
- Extension is unreliable; often fails to activate PiP consistently, requiring browser restart or manual intervention.
- PiP does not always reappear or stay active when switching back and forth between tabs or windows.
- Issues with hardware video controls and touchpad play/pause shortcuts not working when PiP is active.
- Lack of customizability, such as configuring triggers (e.g., only on tab switch, not window switch), default PiP size, or site blacklist/whitelist.
- Needs UI improvements and additional features like keyboard shortcuts and mode switching to work smoothly on some platforms and browsers.
