User reviews
Users generally praise the extension for its ease of use, keyboard shortcut, and useful video controls which enhance multitasking, especially on YouTube. However, multiple reviews highlight issues like inconsistent functionality on certain websites such as Twitch and Instagram, poor sync between PiP and original player controls, the inability to lock aspect ratio when resizing, and annoying forced page reloads to apply settings. Also, users desire features like saving window size and position and configurable initial window dimensions.
Pros
- Easy to use with keyboard shortcut (Alt+P) to open PiP mode
- Provides useful video controls like play/pause, volume control, and 10-second forward/reverse
- Allows moving and resizing the PiP window freely
- Enables watching videos on sites like YouTube while multitasking (e.g., gaming)
- Supports cropping or scrolling on videos, useful for partial video views
Cons
- Does not always work reliably on some sites (e.g., Twitch, Instagram)
- PiP window resizing lacks ability to lock aspect ratio, leading to white space or scrollbars
- PiP controls sometimes override or don't sync well with original player controls, causing desynchronization
- Extension sometimes forces page reloads to apply settings, which is frustrating
- No option to save the PiP window size and position or set initial dimensions
