(Original Post, 5*) Jun 9: You do have to have another extension to actually do that Picture-in-Picture, and it's kind of dependent on which one you have as to how well this will work with Hulu. There's another extension that works like this same one but doesn't work with my PIP extension, however this one does. And when I tried with another, that one worked but this didn't. The only caviat is that for some reason the play and skip buttons won't show on the picture-in-picture window.
(Post Edit, 3*) June 19: So it was working a few days ago perfectly fine on the movie or show I would click on. Now every time I try to use it, it for some reason plays the preview of whatever show/movie is on the main Hulu page instead of what I'm watching. I was trying to watch Assassination Classroom while downloading Guitar Hero and Rock Band songs, so I click my Picture-in-Picture app like I normally do so I can see better, but instead of Assassination Classroom, I got the 60s~ preview of Mob Psycho III from the main Hulu page with no audio, since it was muted on the main page. Definitely needs some sort of fix.
Does exactly as it says. Don't be discouraged by users who do not understand the purpose of this extension.
I don't usually write reviews, but
Can confirm it does work, but you will need a PIP extension to use it. All this does is allow the PIP extension to work with Hulu.
