Review Summary
Users appreciate Super PiP for its subtitle support in PiP mode, playback controls, and broad browser compatibility. It's lightweight and free, filling a niche for accessible PiP with captions. However, subtitles fail on some platforms (Disney+, YouTube Music), and the extension lacks advanced window management features like remembering size or auto-launch. Some users report UI issues and limited customization. Overall, it's considered one of the best free subtitle-supporting PiP extensions, with requests for improvements in subtitle handling across sites and interface tweaks.
Pros
- Supports subtitles/captions in Picture-in-Picture mode especially on YouTube, which is rare among PiP extensions.
- Includes playback controls and useful hotkeys, enhancing the viewing experience while multitasking.
- Lightweight, works well on multiple browsers including Brave and Vivaldi.
- Allows resizing of the PiP window and works on various websites beyond YouTube.
- Free alternative to paid PiP extensions with subtitles support.
Cons
- Subtitles do not work consistently across all websites, notably failing on Disney+, some movie sites, and YouTube Music.
- Window size and behavior lack persistence; the extension does not remember previous window size and lacks auto-launch features found in other browsers.
- No full screen mode feature for PiP window, limiting maximum size to less than monitor size.
- Issues with video UI after popping video back onto webpage, requiring reload to regain full controls.
- Some users experience hotkey malfunctions and desire more customizable subtitle options (such as size) and additional hotkey features like playback rate control.
