## Description

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.
