Windowed - Floating Fullscreen for Any Website

"Windowed - floating Youtube/every website" is a Chrome extension that modifies the fullscreen functionality on websites to allow videos and content to be displayed in a resizable, windowed format. This means you can easily multitask, like writing a paper while viewing a YouTube video or watching Netflix. The extension supports Picture-in-Picture mode and works with most sites, while respecting user privacy with open-source transparency. Notably, it doesn’t work with Flash videos or native HTML controls.

Worked perfectly for Crunchyroll, big fan of the 'windowed' mode - opens the player in a separate 'borderless' window

Works very well! At first i didn't understand how to pop it out of the tab. For any one for needs to know, just press the full screen button after you select the option you would like

I'm going to give it one star because I can't find any instruction anywhere on how to get OUT of the windowed full screen mode without having to reload the whole page.
