About Video PiP Shortcut
Video PiP Shortcut — v1.13
Pop HTML5 videos into Picture-in-Picture with one click or a configurable keyboard shortcut. It works across Chrome, Brave, Edge, Firefox 153+, and other compatible desktop browsers.
WHAT'S NEW IN v1.13
• Added support for Firefox and Firefox-based desktop browsers using Gecko 153 or newer.
• One shared release package now works across Chromium and supported Firefox-based browsers.
• Added correctly sized 16, 32, and 48 pixel browser icons.
• Added Firefox-engine test coverage and Mozilla add-on validation alongside the Chromium and live YouTube suites.
• Declares no data collection and is now licensed under the MIT License.
RELIABILITY IMPROVEMENTS
• The overlay is isolated from website styles, so sites cannot accidentally hide or distort it.
• The button stays correctly centred while the page scrolls.
• Reliable support for videos that appear, move, or disappear on dynamic single-page sites.
• Automatic cleanup and recovery when sites rebuild their video players.
• Support for matching embedded video frames.
• Improved hover behaviour, focus handling, accessibility labels, and click safety.
• Settings are validated and applied live across open tabs.
