PIPsy - PIP out your video player!

Easily pop out any video player into a PIP window.

PIPsy - Picture in Picture for Every Video Player

PIPsy is a Chrome extension that allows you to utilize Picture in Picture (PIP) mode for HTML5 video players on websites that typically don't support it. With PIPsy, you can easily pop out video players from popular streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video into a separate, movable window, giving you a more flexible viewing experience.

As this extension is still in its early development phase, users are encouraged to report any bugs through the GitHub issue tracker. Please note that PIPsy is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of the streaming services mentioned.

This looks like the original pop out video player - picture in picture. Open source too! however hasn't been updated since 2018 so there is some issue about activating on all sites. Works well for making a pop out video frame which stays on top of all browser windows. Resizeable and has pause. Doesn't have , back and forward controls (unlike the many copies on the webstore). No subtitles, none of the other youtube controls like fast forward, rewind, speed etc.

What's the point of this plugin? The people that like this extension seem to be unaware that there's ALREADY one currently built into chrome that offers some extras. It's worse than chrome/googles. You can at least juggle through video selection in googles/chrome by clicking the extension and you're not required to be on the particular tab you're wanting to view the video/PIP with. Offers zero video control(volume/forward/backward/ETC) outside of play/pause/close/back to tab. Even the sizing is the exact same as chrome. Don't bother.
