Review Summary

Users appreciate the extension's simplicity and functionality, especially for multitasking with videos from YouTube and other streaming services. However, repeated complaints focus on the lack of subtitle support in PiP mode and limited playback controls. Technical issues like screen flickering, window movement glitches, and browser interaction problems are also frequently mentioned. Overall, while effective for its basic purpose, enhancements in usability and feature set would improve the experience.

Pros

  • Allows watching videos in Picture-in-Picture mode while multitasking, enhancing productivity and entertainment.
  • Simple, smooth, and functional with an easy-to-understand interface.
  • Supports popular sites like YouTube and most streaming platforms.
  • Saves the need for a second monitor by enabling flexible video viewing.
  • Reliable performance overall without frequent crashes or bugs.

Cons

  • Lack of subtitle or closed caption (CC) support in the Picture-in-Picture window, making it difficult to follow videos with subtitles.
  • Limited control features: only a pause button is available, missing fast forward, rewind, and volume controls.
  • Sometimes causes screen flickering or glitches, especially after prolonged use or switching tabs.
  • The PiP window moves unexpectedly when changing video source or streaming content.
  • Conflicts with other browser functions, such as preventing links from opening from external apps or crashing on certain interactions.
