About Picture in Picture

Pop any video out of the page. One click on the toolbar icon, or press Alt+P. The video floats in its own window while you switch tabs, take notes, or read. Works on most sites that use a normal HTML5 video player. YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch, news sites, podcasts, lecture pages. No popup, no settings, no scan. The icon does one thing. **Features:** - One click toggles Picture in Picture on the largest visible video in the current tab. - Alt+P keyboard shortcut (rebind in chrome://extensions/shortcuts). - Small "PiP" badge shows when a video from this tab is floating. - Works inside iframes where Chrome's right-click menu does not appear. - If no video is found, you get a short message. No silent fails. **Permissions:** - `activeTab` - Read the active tab's videos only when you click the icon. - `scripting` - Run the toggle on the page you clicked from. - `storage` - Reserved for a future per-site preference. Not used today. - `notifications` - Show a one-line message when a site blocks Picture in Picture. **Known limitations:** DRM-locked players block Picture in Picture at the browser level. Netflix, Disney+, and Hulu will fail with "This site blocks Picture-in-Picture." That is a site choice, not a bug. Standard HTML5 video players work. No accounts. No cloud. No tracking. No outbound network calls of any kind.
