Features & Capabilities

AutoPiP automatically enters Picture-in-Picture mode whenever you leave a tab with a playing video — and closes it when you come back. No clicks needed.

Features: • Smart video detection — picks the largest playing video, ignores muted ads • Keyboard shortcut — press Alt+P to toggle PiP instantly at any time • Mute tab in PiP — optionally silence the tab while PiP is open • Whitelist / Blacklist — restrict AutoPiP to specific sites, or exclude domains • SPA support — works on YouTube, Twitch, Vimeo without page reloads • Adjustable delay — configure how quickly PiP activates after switching tabs • Minimum video size — ignore small embedded videos • Brave / strict mode — manual PiP trigger button for browsers with strict tab-switch protection

Supported sites: YouTube, Twitch, Vimeo, Udemy, and any site using HTML5 <video>.

Note: Sites using DRM (Netflix, Disney+) block Picture-in-Picture at the browser level — this is a browser limitation, not a bug.

Privacy: AutoPiP collects zero data. No analytics, no network requests, no tracking. Everything runs locally in your browser.

Is AutoPiP — Universal Picture-in-Picture Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

AutoPiP — Universal Picture-in-Picture requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

AutoPiP — Universal Picture-in-Picture is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
