Go PopOut!

PopOut video player on some websites
Download Install Compare

Go PopOut! is a handy Chrome extension that adds a 'pop out' icon directly within video controls on popular sites like YouTube and Twitch. This feature allows you to pop out your current video into a separate window, enabling you to multitask without missing any action. The extension seamlessly integrates with supported sites for a smooth user experience.

While the pop out window enhances your video watching by detaching it from the browser tab, note that due to Chrome limitations, it cannot stay always on top of other windows. Enjoy more flexible viewing with Go PopOut! on your favorite streaming platforms.

User reviews

Users generally appreciate Go PopOut! for its ability to play videos in a separate window with easy controls and adjustable size, aiding multitasking. However, many express frustration that the popped out video window does not stay always on top, limiting true Picture-in-Picture functionality. Several reviews note it simply opens a new browser window rather than a real PiP overlay, and the extension's interface can be confusing. Additionally, some users are concerned about its access to browser history. Overall, while functional, the extension needs improvement in window pinning and usability.
Pros
  • Works well for playing videos in a separate floating window.
  • Provides easy control options for YouTube videos.
  • Allows adjustable frame size for the popped out window.
  • Helpful for multitasking while watching videos.
  • Simple and practical to use.
Cons
  • Window does not stay always on top; no pinning feature.
  • Not a true Picture-in-Picture (PiP), just opens a new Chrome window.
  • New PiP window still shows the Go PiP! button causing confusion.
  • Floating window minimizes or is hidden when switching tasks or opening other files.
  • Privacy concerns about access to browser history.

Extension safety

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.

Go PopOut! requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
