Shorts PiP Autoplay

Shorts PiP Autoplay keeps YouTube Shorts playing continuously in a small floating window, so you can keep browsing anything else while Shorts auto-advance in the corner of your screen. YouTube Shorts don't auto-advance on their own — a Short just loops when it ends until you scroll to the next one. This extension adds a small floating button on any Shorts page. Click it once, and the current Short pops into your browser's native Picture-in-Picture window. From then on, every time a Short is about to end, the extension automatically moves to the next one and hands the floating window over to the new video — so Shorts keep playing while you work in other tabs or apps. Features: - One click to start — a small overlay button appears on any youtube.com/shorts page - Auto-advance — detects when a Short is about to end and moves to the next one automatically - Continuous PiP — the floating window follows along as Shorts change, no need to click again - Stops cleanly — closing the PiP window (or clicking the button again) stops auto-advancing - No permissions required, no background process, no data collected — just a single content script Known limitation: the auto-advance mechanism simulates the same keypress you'd normally use to skip a Short, since YouTube doesn't expose an official "next Short" API. If YouTube changes how Shorts navigation works, this may need an update. This is a free, independent hobby project and is not affiliated with YouTube or Google.
