User reviews
Users appreciate the extension's fast and convenient PiP functionality on YouTube, especially the instant PiP button integrated into the video frame, its minimal design, and better privacy features. It supports multitasking well with a resizable window and even overlays games. However, several users experience issues such as limited video controls, crashes, lack of support for some streaming platforms, movement limitations on certain devices, and presence of ads. Overall, it is favored for YouTube usage but has room for improvement in control options and stability.
Pros
