User Reviews

PiPifier is widely praised for enabling YouTube PiP in Safari without Premium, with easy setup and an ad-free experience. It’s reliable across sites and helpful for multitasking. Common drawbacks include activation problems, dropped iOS 12 support, limited background playback outside Safari, and privacy-related permission concerns.

Pros

Enables PiP in Safari for YouTube and other sites without requiring YouTube Premium
Easy to use, reliable, and free of bloat
No ads and clear instructions, offering good value
Allows multitasking by watching videos in PiP while using other apps
Works across both the Safari extension and the app/website versions

Cons

Activation/enabling issues prevent some users from turning the extension on
iOS 12 support has been dropped, making it unusable on older devices
Background PiP is limited; often only works when Safari is the active app
Privacy/data-permission prompts and concerns about reading/altering webpages

Neither the extensions nor the share method would allow me to enable pipifier! Was really hoping this would be good since i'd heard so many good things about
