Mini Y

Makes YouTube video float while you're reading/writing comments so you can do both at the same time.

Mini Y: Multitask with YouTube
Mini Y is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your YouTube experience by allowing you to float videos while engaging with comments. With a simple setup, just install the extension and refresh your YouTube page to start watching videos and reading or writing comments simultaneously.

Key features include automatic resizing and repositioning of the video player, allowing you to drag and resize the video to your liking. The extension remembers your last size and position, eliminating the need for extra steps every time you watch a new video. Plus, it's open-source on GitHub, ensuring transparency and community collaboration.

Whether you're a casual viewer or a dedicated commentator, Mini Y makes multitasking a breeze on YouTube!

перестало работать. переустановил, но не помогло

為何此擴充套件要設定年齡限制?以至於在沒有登入GOOGLE之前,搜尋不要此擴充功能。 Why does this extension require an age restriction? As a result, this extension will not appear in the search until you log in to GOOGLE.

I love this extension but i have some troubles since a few weeks, it won't work :(
